Who's fishing this weekend?

[peter crabtree]

What and where?
I am definitely fishing the Charity open at Marsworth reservoir near Tring on Sunday. Sadly the last of the annual six match series.
Tomorrow will probably be a short late afternoon session on the Colne looking to catch a nice chub on stick float and maggot.

What about you?

 

[chub_on_the_block]

Working.

But hope to get out early next week for some trotting on a river - its been too long on the lakes as i am only now giving up on the tench!

LOL!

That would be giving my 2Ib roach swims away..

Ivel or Cam probably..be lucky to get 2Ib of roach.

Yep off out for a short session somewhere tomorrow. Don`t know where yet but most likely a small pond or small commercial. Then maybe a morning on the canal on Sunday.

 

[maceo]

Nope - one of the advantages of being a dole scum is that at least I can get out fishing during the week when there's nobody else about.

I can also look at the 5-day forecast and choose the best day weather wise to go out.

Unfortunetly not this weekend, family business. Am going Barbel fishing on the Wye, Monday and Tuesday though Haven't fished for old whiskers for a few years now. Matbe I'll come back and start a war.

I am on the ribble tomorrow and all next week as I am on holiday, I am looking forward to the river as I am going to catch a 15lb barbel and a 7lb chub

 

[nhs service]

Have you heard about that bloke caught a 15lb barbel and a 7lb chub out of the Ribble, blimey!
Wish I could, when I packed up,7 or 8 years ago all my gear was left with my dad,then when he died,bless his memory, it all disappeared quicker than a rat up a drainpipe (my twin tip Bob James Normark river rod,sob!)
All I got back was my two Aerials,so I'm scouting the second hand and bootys trying to put some gear together, I did find a nice 13ft Shimano float rod,but when I got it home I found the last 3 inches of the tip was missing!
The trouble is I'm not going to buy any old ****,and decent rods at the likes of cash converters are very few and far between,chuck in I'm skint and it's a bit of a trial.
Still,tight lines to anybody getting out this weekend.
All the best.

Well, great few days on the Wye, what a river! Dead as a dodo in the mornings but great action every day from about 4-00 to dusk! Had quite a few Barbel up to just over 9lbs and was attached to a very irate large Salmon for a short while, playing it would be an exageration, the fish was always in control, right up to the bit when it crashed through a snag and broke the line!

This weekend, an overnighter on my syndicate lake for an early Autumn carp or two, I hope. Two of us have the lake to ourselves (one of the perks of running the syndicate!).

Im off to Heapey lodges in Chorley later but cannot make my mind up which one to fish!
They all contain VERY good fish and I am spoilt for choice...hard life this fishing lark

 

[peter crabtree]

Sounds like a nice fishing break you had Stu. I really must have a crack at the Wye sometime. For me this weekend looks all wrong with bright sunshine today and a windy deluge tomorrow..
I have the option of an Open match tomorrow on a big gravel pit near me but I'm still undecided. I fished the midweek open there and struggled, so my enthusiasm is somewhat dampened.
Good luck on your syndicate lake.

 

[Bluenose]

Hopefully a local mere or the Upper Weaver this afternoon and the Dove tomorrow for me.

 

[andreagrispi]

I'm on A/L all next week and I will be fishing everyday.

 

[iceman22]

Had a change from barbel overnighter yesterday and fished waggler and maggot on middle trent for a few hours , had 15lb of mostly pristine roach to 12oz with a couple of perch and last fish a 4 inch zander

 

[rocketmandan]

Had a good day on Blundells fishery in Warrington yesterday, a real mixed bag. A few carp, skimmers, bream, roach and perch.

On family duties today.

 

[no-one in particular]

If i get out today, going after Crucians in my local lake. Looks like the conditions should be fair to good for them; and a change from the river will be nice.

 

[peter crabtree]

Against my better judgement I am fishing the open on the big pit.
It's pi$$ing down but not too windy. I've lost 2 carp and landed 7 bream so far on cage and maggot. Bit gutted as I realised I had forgotten our club match on the tidal Thames is on today. DOH!mg:
