...and caught two fish!
A total of 5lb 9oz and one of them weighted 5½lb!
What surprised me was there was no activity at all. No line bites, no bubbles, no nothing just flat calm water. This was no natural water either, this was a fully stocked commercial lake.
The water was very coloured but it was absolutely flat-calm. Still I was happy with my common - the largest one I have ever caught in my 16 months of fishing. The whole story of the day can be found HERE.
Even though the fishing was slow, the time went by really quickly and I had a good time messing around with different baits - even the Two Dog groundbait maid very little difference. I bought a pint of maggots to use in a swim feeder and that lot weighed more than the 1oz roach I caught!
Oh well, there is always next time...
