What was the last fish

[Stick_Float]

A 22lb 8oz mirror.

I was roach/rudd fishing on the waggler but after getting smashed up by 2 carp on my light gear I remembered I had my barbel rod in my rod bag, tackled up and before long it was away and this time I had enough in the tackle to see it home.

Spooked the Rudd and Roach though!

Rather sadly it was the smallest tench I have ever seen, even with my glasses on it looked like a gudgeon as I netted it. ( I don't swing anything in, for fear of offending Neptune)

I had about thirty fish last night as the Sun went down and I'd promised the dog we'd leave after the next fish.

Well a promise is a promise and he kips in the back of the car with my cane rods, so I wasn't about to break my word.

That's the trouble with catching fish in good numbers for just the fun Rufus, you get a bit careless, dropped few.
Rumour had it there were roach to 1:12, so went in hope to a new venue, to try and see if the elusive 2lb was in residence!
Next time maybe.

Still, nearly twenty pounds of roach is a phenomenal catch by any standard - imagine getting twenty pounds plus of roach, including a two pounder...

Now that's some kind of Golden Double surely?

Couple of lb's of small perch on the whip using artificial bloodworm on the hook.

Sagalout........Oh very comical but I'm not biting..................BUT beware man throwing bricks in your one pond in Torquay-you're easy to find!

Come to think of it,are you sure it wasn't the sea...or a backgarden somewhere??

(just watching a pair of Bullfinches bathing in my garden pond-such beautiful colours....I wonder if Dulux could do a match....sorry about that-bit off subject..)

I have to say Ron was a bit casual around his catch-still,perhaps he does this quite often....all down(or up) to Ron's for the weekend then!!

ps I reckon Stickfloat was at Savay......probably in Hutchinsons swim which is almost cheating!!

Small carp on the pole at the Cider Farm in last Sunday's match. Hoping for some proper double-figure commons while testing a rod at Millhayes next...

Managed a quick session earlier just short of an hour but i caught a pike of about 8 or 9lbs and it had the worst bite ive seen on a pike.Not the biggest bite ive seen but it was deep and the flesh looked washed out around the wound. Looking at the size of the bite it looked like a pike of similar size had done it.
