..out fishing this weekend. Many will be on hols and perhaps trying some new types of fishing, others like me will be on our local waters.
Clubby at Farlows for me. Yep bream again but some big tench. Being deep and gin clear most of the year undoubtedly it will be weedy and finding a clear spot of gravel challenging.

Anyone else out?

Yep pretty much a repeat of last week, taking a mate to the Trent on Saturday and just trying to decide on a stretch of day ticket water that's not been hammered for barbel and then out on my own on club waters Sunday.

The river's fining down quite slowly after last weekends deluge and the top up yesterday, i'm hoping it will still be fresh and carrying a bit of colour for the weekend.

I did nick a very short session yesterday morning in the hope of a nice perch and thought i'd cracked it until this popped up with my lobworm fairly in it's scissors... lucky not to get chomped off I reckon and a new pb at all of 5 - 6lbs :)

I hope to catch a few hours on the river Don Saturday or Sunday, found a nice little spot near a big overhanging willow. I fished it last week but forgot my catapult and couldn't get the bait out to my float, still managed a chub of about 2lb and a load of dace fishing shallow. The river was very slow moving and I was able to fish a 3bb waggler with ease. I'm hopeful of some more chub this time out, anything over 3lb would be superb.

My mate terry Two-Barns came over yesterday after dropping his parents off at the airport. We spent the day making a facade and doors for one of his barns and after dinner I took him down to the river for a bit of catfishing. He's never caught a catfish and never caught anything over 18lb so last night was going to be special for him. However, for the first time in over a month I couldn't find a damn fish for him to catch. :mad:

There was nothing about at all. Good job I've got my photos or he might have thought I was lying about the fish ;)

I'll be off again tomorrow night carp fishing at a large lake and then after that it is 'Mad August' in France when the population of the cities de-camp to the countryside for their annual holidays. Everything closes down, job stopped! Saturday and Sunday will be carnage on the roads so little wife and I will be restricting our journeys to necessities like travelling to check my mole traps. And then it will be only in off peak hours.

That's an awesome fish. I love the look of Z's and will probably have to travel a few miles to get one as I become more experienced. Good job anyhow

There are plenty of Zeds in the Lower Severn and Warks Avon, not too far from Bristol up the motorway network.

Further to our chat Simon, a really good session from 10 - 3.30 Friday for some decent carp 'up in the water' on that local pit - plenty of cloud cover for much of the day, a brisk Southerly................

I'm going through one of my phases currently when I just can't be bothered to get out. Dont know what I want to do and nothing particularly appeals. I've got next week off and no plans to go anywhere.
