ReplyDeleteTroutmasters final at Grafham
ReplyDeleteIt was a day of if only, If only I had gone to the boils earlier. I had 3 pulls in 5 cast and had a 4lb 10oz and a 3lb 8oz and then ran out of time, it was windy again so we were moving quite quick. If only I had caught one fish from the bank I would have finished in the top ten according to how they do the scoring, I went down to the car park near the dam and fished off the rocks facing G buoy into a strong wind but I did not feel safe so I walked to the dam, I had one good pull and missed it, that's fishing I guess. The winner who's name I forget (an England international) won easily with 8 off the boat and 7 off the bank, no one was any where near him. Biggest fish was over 7lb. Lots of anglers blanked so I can't complain as I think I was just outside the top 10.
Colwick ffc fished Foremark on Sun 29th, patience prevailed fish being caught on the bottom with boobies on a fast sink line or a small gold head damsel & diawl bachs on the droppers on a sink tip or floater fished dead slow.
ReplyDeleteCFFC fished Draycote on Sun 10 June, a nice warm day, very bright & calm, best bags were Kezz fishing in Rainbow Corner mostly with a Di 7 and single Pitsford Pea, he took 7 fish (one superb 5lb.5oz taken on a cruncher on the top.) Rosemary fished a floater in Toft Shallows and took 8 fish on Black Buzzers, crunchers and one on a PTN, Keith fished a Di 3 and Orange Blob to take 5, many more missed and several follows again in Toft. Great day and superb quality fish. Go there!
ReplyDeleteFished Colwick today and as on the last two occasions I have fished, I have had action on a Slow Glass line with a small pink Humungus on the point and a Green Pea on the dropper. Plenty of fish there and great that we can still get a boat. 10am - 3pm
ReplyDeleteCFFC fished Thornton on Sunday 3rd March, Sinking lines with Wufta or black Boobys did the business or intermediate with black or white lures and the odd sunburst blob.

ReplyDeleteWell done Kezz, you are going great Guns! I have had no spare time to get out there and fish, envious. Where are every one else's fish tales???
ReplyDeleteR
Sorry Kez. 14 today 10/04/2014. Many on my copy of your nomad. Nymphs & buzzers in Buzzer Bay and off point. Then 3hrs off model boat club boom for another 8. Lost perhaps another 6-8 and no end of hits not sticking. Faster jerky retrieve between 20 - 36secs down depending on cloud cover. Weather probably the best its been so far this season - quite warm with a lovely ripple and a lot of fish rising through the day.
