Caught on BJ's today, on an afternoon session, weighing 17lb 5oz and caught on a pellet. Probably be the last one this year as piking will take over any day now.
After the good thunderstorm Friday afternoon I decided to pack the car and spend the night up at Frisby. I looked at BJ's first, then went to Jurassic. BJ's levels looked pretty normal, and Jurassic was at least still a good foot down. I drove back to BJ's, looked around a bit and thought blow it and went back to Jurassic!!
I settled on the beach swim. First fish came at 2:57am, or thereabouts, a nice common at 11lb 9oz.
About 5:37am alarm rang out again and a nice surprise Tench hit the net weighing 4lb 5oz and my first Tench out of there this year. Both fish caught on 16mm sticky krill boilies. I was pleased to have chosen Jurassic in the end… might even be more, hopefully, as here until mid afternoon.
I caught in the steps on Jurassic last night about 21:50 and weighing in at 21lb 13oz on a 15mm sticky krill and KD rig. I was just returning it to the water and the heavens opened up and stayed like it most of the night!! so thankful for no more runs…LOL. Dave and I arrived about 8am and did an hours raking of the weed before starting to fish. Dave was first off the mark with an early 9lb 1oz fish, then nothing until mine hit the net. Just before leaving at 7:45am this morning we had one last cast, Dave had no sooner put the rod in the rests when it ripped off resulting in an 11lb 3oz fish. So not a bad result really with all the raking and the torrential rain through the night.
Decided to try for the Tench, over the road, at Frisby Water Park on Thursday afternoon. Finished up with this one at 3lb 13oz, caught on a Robin Red pellet with a grain of sweetcorn. I had a small Bream after it, plus another smaller Tench. So I guess some sort of result when actually targeting them.
