This weeks trips.

Well i had Monday and Tuesday off this week so i jumped at the chance of a couple of days fishing. Monday saw me fishing with my manager from work. We were originally heading for tubuary house, i was going to fish for the carp while he fished the pole but things didn't work out and at dinner time we left turbuary and headed for orchaton? the commercial next to the kennels in eccleston. we opted to fish on the small quarry lake as i only had my carp gear with me. To say i struggled was an understatement with the heavy gear and gin clear water! Byron managed to have a fairly decent afternoon taking several bream to 6lb!

He managed about half a dozen this size as well as bits, i however found that my gear was too beefy for the fish in this lake and suffered lost fish again and again. the only fish i managed to catch was this superb looking koi.

It fell to a mixer late on in the evening once the light started to fade.
Tuesday was even worse than Monday, me and Carl were going on the lodges for a couple of hours summer plugging for the jacks but we never got a take all day! It rained constantly and i had no waterproofs, all the required ingredients to have a cruddy day! I did however see a couple of kingfishers which is always a treat. At the end of the day it was a day out, better by far than sitting at home all day.this is the middle lodge, although its solid with fish there impossible to catch. evening match's are usually won with a couple of ounces by quality match men! But just look at the beauty of the place who can possibly complain for twenty quid a year, its a total bargain if you ask me. And this is only one of the three lodges!

Well I'm hoping to get back to my club water again on Mon/Tues so ill let you know how i get on. Who knows i may catch a whopper Ive caught some pretty unexpected fish of late and I'm now thinking I'm on a bit of a role. How long can my luck hold out?
