A Day with Mr Crabtree (updated)
Today I was lucky enough go fishing with the forums own Peter Crabtree.
Simon picked me up at 10.30 and drove us to one of his favourite locations on the local canal.
It was great for me to fish with a much more experienced angler and his tips on shotting, knot tying and tactics were very forthcoming and immensely useful for someone like me.
Bites were a bit slow despite perfect conditions, but I managed a couple of Perch, one tiny and a nicer sized one towards the end of the session.
Simon had two or three small Perch and Roach and hooked into something big which broke his hook.
The fish of the day went to Mr Crabtree with the lovely Roach pictured below, caught on two red maggots.
A thoroughly enjoyable day with a very nice bloke & top fisherman; so thank you Simon for that, and thanks also for the loan of the waterproof trousers, float and hooks.
