It's the old pincer movement once again gents and following on from Simon's "Anyone fishing this weekend?" thread how did everyone get on?
Was it a warm chair and a box of tissues as you spun that pin or did you get out, cover it in maggot goo and make the most of the rivers now that we're in to the closing couple of weeks of the season... or was it a stillwater venture for you?
I ventured out on to the Trent today to test the light spinning rod and jigs i've just brought and found the river perfect but the fish frustrating.
Managed a couple of follows and a take right below my feet from a nice double which had hit the jig on the previous cast and flanked right in front of me before making two attempts on the following cast, the latter of which connected for a few seconds before the jig pulled free but it at least put aside my fears that the rod wouldn't handle such a fish.
Decided to call it a day and have a couple of hours on a local lake on the way home and enjoyed some good action with the perch... very pleasing as it was my first foray into jig fishing and whilst no monsters some of the fish were very respectable and without a mark on 'em
So then, where did you all go... how did you all get on... ?
