A new beginning..
After nearly a year off angling on any serious level due to a severve injury and complications, im on a new water with a new challenge and venture.
'the ancient gem'
The traps are set in swim 3 over pellet,maples and chops and boilies. Rigs are long shanks hooks with about 6inz braid tied 'my style'....!!
Sadly it was a quiet night. Nothing showed and no fish on the bank. What to do next? After speaking to a few regulars staying in swim 3 was a good plan.
So breakfast done some early pictures of early mist on the water done. Rods back onto baited spots.
Also learnt more about 'the ancient gem', the stock etc, these fish dont show themselves theres probably only 30 fish to go for. Its a lake made by an iceberg, allegedly.
Have i bitten off my than i can chew?
Im not sure, but im not giving up easily. I relish the challenge........
As im sat watching the water, seeing lots of movement of fish, probably roach.and bream! Suddenly in amongst the sprouting lillies, growing faster day by day, a dark two tone launches itself head and shoulders through the pads.
So they dont show themselves then!!!
All around the pads had been baited so was happy and confident with rigs.
Then low and behold another very dark large carp jumps at back of the lillies. Ok maybe the 'newbie on the syndicate is going to be treated to one of its residents.
Solid bag of chops pellet etc straight at it........
Got my stepson in swim one, he also had nothing. He happened to be stood with me when the second fish jumped. Come on he said......
Sadly as the hours ticked by still not a bite to be had. Not a single liner i questioned myself, my rigs, my line lay, but was sure they were all fine. I knew i had to re set the traps, but where? Decided to leave one on the side of the baited spot the other rod i decided to put about 15yds off the baited area with just little stick mix and single boilie.
Before we could settle in for the night my stepson becomes unwell. After a short chat we decided to get him home.
A great 24hrs fishing even without catching, but looking forward to getting back on the bank very soon.
