On the 12th April i went to a
new water in coastal suffolk armed with 3kg of G-Nuts dumbell. I did
the usual bank walk for about an hour or so scanning for signs of fish. I
decided to settle on the north bank on the 4th swim up giving me a lot
of water with two gravel bars in front of me and an island to my left.
Clipped up two rods to a spot just off furthest bar. I then catapulted
about a kilo of G-Nut out over the marked spot. The third rod i used as a
roaming rod with pva bags of boilie. Traps set i settled down for the
evening with a brew and dinner. About 11pm right hand lets out a couple
of bleeps and then a gentle steady take. Picked rod up and knew
instantly it wasnt a carp. It came in easy and as it came to the bank i
saw a tench of about 3lb. Safely in the net unhooked and safely
released. Not what i was after but my confidence was growing as at least
fish were feeding. Rod back onto spot, back to bed i think.
4am ish the other rod on baited spot went off. It was a better take and thought it must be a carp.
Sadly another tench. Didnt bother putting rod back out. About 5am or
just after the rod left on baited spot was off and i hit into what i
knew was a carp.
Safely in it was a lovely little common of 11lb.
The next day the wind swung round and i moved to be in teeth of the
northerly. Settled into new swim and found a large spot between the
canadian weed.
5am one of the rods on the baited clear spot was off
and hit into what felt like a good fish. It stayed deep for most of the
fight but eventually into my net went a lovely 20lb common.
The G-Nuts had done me proud. Celticbait had done me proud.
Thankyou guys.
Apologies for poor quality of pics. Phone packed in i have now a camera in my armoury.
Cant wait to be back on the bank.
