Fishing in the Sun

by Mark Foley

 

Using two weeks of my annual holiday I started my latest session at The Boathouse swim of my local syndicate lake in Sussex.

The first week was in the company of my wife and the second was on my own (I took the wife home to do some much needed decorating)  And before all you ladies start shouting, it was her idea not mine!    I also needed to replenish food, bait and more importantly alcohol and cigarette supplies...along with a much needed shower!

Armed with my new Sonik SK 4's which was an anniversary present from her indoors and using a combination of Animal, CBS and Bloodworm of which I had never used before, I managed to catch my biggest fish this trip so far...a Mirror of 13lb 10oz.  After two lost fish Thursday and Friday and a blank Saturday with only a small Common on Sunday I decided to move swims and what a good decision it turned out to be!  Within a couple of hours of moving I had netted four carp in an hour and a half. 

Tuesday morning started off with showers and a brisk southerly wind however this seemed to turn on some bigger fish and so by 8 o'clock I had two twenty's on the bank (26lb 2oz and a  21lb 6oz).

Wednesday produced several fish including a 1lb 10oz Roach along with another twenty (22lb).

Thursday morning began with a thick mist across the lake and the first indication on my delkims produced a 1lb 12oz perch again on a double 14mm baits.  Midnight proved to be the last bite of the session with a 17 lb 8 oz mirror, with the long laborious process of packing up Friday morning.

Total catch for the twelve night's: 5 Bream, 1 Roach x Bream Hybrid, 1 Roach, 1 Perch, 8 Common Carp and 13 Mirror Carp.
