Well done Richard, lovely fish and 3 out of 4 is pretty good going I think.








(pity they didn't come out wearing Arsenal strip though)

Fortunately there is medication available to stop that happening Peter. So serious is the affliction they give the medicine away free.

I'm happy with 3 out of 4, but I'm always looking to learn and improve.

 

[Richard Farrow]

Any goods tips from anyone then for my next effort?

I think it sounds like you were just a little unfortunate with the lost fish Richard. I'm sure you've lost a few when fishing for other species.

 

[Richard Farrow]

Yes including a nice Tench at Sywell, that did get to me.

 

[Fred Bonney]

Just find your fish Richard, nothing wrong with your approach.

They are not that difficult a fish to catch when you find them, depends on the river and the location.

PVA bags are brilliant for shorter sessions, I make up 15 or 20 as they are fairly light and easy to carry, or on dry days where you can make them up on the bank inbetween casts.

For longer sessions (and wet days) where I'm choosing a swim and sticking to it I usually opt for a feeder approach filling it with damp pellets and a little groundbait, sometimes mixing a bit of hemp in too.

It's always gutting to lose a fish on sessions like we had at Sywell but somewhere down the line you'll have a day where you can do no wrong and they virtually climb up the line for you all day.

I think I must be due one of those days soon /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif
