Well I have to say that this was a very disappointing night for all three of us, that is John, Chris and I! Conditions were pretty good! Warm, cloudy and fairly dark and the water was crystal. One thing that did hinder us though was a stiff breeze!
We all fished hard from 10.30 pm to 4.00 am! I blanked completely without any decent pulls; Chris lost a good fish early on; John had a few pulls and finished up with a lovely silver 2 lb sewin!
Worming in Crewel pool was also a complete let down! Not a fish to be seen or heard! I caught a small sewin of 1 lb and that was that!
Positive thoughts: Otters were around? Saw 2 kingfishers!
Negative thoughts: Bullocks and, dare I say a BULL!!!!!! F..k..g hell!!! The things that we fishermen put ourselves through! We must be MENTAL!
Stayed down on Sat night & fished the Cross Hands water with Howard.
ReplyDeleteLost the best fish I've had on in the last few years. Hooked on a 2" black ,red & silver tube early on the fish estimated at least 10 lbs + tore of back to sea on it's first run & then careered & crashed all round the pool for the next couple of minutes before running hard back towards me,too fast to regain line & finally shedding the hook.
Oh well -at least we know there are some fatastic fish around.
