Simple fishing
I have been on nights all week so Damon picked up a pint of maggots for me.
I Grabbed Jacobs whip, tackle box and the net first thing and headed out for 9am.
Damon was already there fishing with my rod!!! I had lent it him to fish the river last week. He was using his new centrepin using bread corn and maggot as bait. I set up Jacobs whip, plumbed the depth and we was off. Went to sit down and realised I had forgot to bring some chairs.
Jacob feeding maggots.
Jacob started feeding the maggots in then I gave him the whip and he started catching fish a few adjustments here and there and a steady stream of fish came to hand a couple needed netting. It slowed down for a while so Jacob practised his casting with the whip. He is getting quite good, he only struggled because I left the rig a little long.
I swapped with Damon for a while and he fished with Jacob whilst I watched his float but nothing seemed interested in his offerings.
Swapped back after a while and then he was in after a minute. Could have been mine. After a spirited little fight we had it in the net.
Plenty of roach a lone tiny perch and some lovely looking rudd.
Plenty more fish lost and bites missed little lad loved it. Who needs fancy tackle? A cheap whip a couple rigs pint of maggots and a net great couple hours fun.
Hopefully have another blog next week as Jacob said he wants to go catch a pike. (That's my Boy) just hope they are obliging.
