Reepham today

[Norfolkboy]

Arrived at the lake today and was suprised to see no-one else on the lake. The weather was bitterly cold, wet, windy but in the afternoon brightening up.

Baits were spam and boilies.

We both legered 2 rods using in-line leads. I had strawberry and ice cream boilies on both reds, Chris using the source on 1 rod, and shrimp and prawn boilie on the other.

After about 20 minutes I got a run, it turned out to be a nice 5lb mirror in great condition:



About 30 minutes later I got another run, this time a nice common of around 6lb:



Chris set up a float and started catching some nice fantails, I decided to have a few chucks with it and caught a new pb crucian at 2lb 5oz:



Chris then started catching some better carp on spam, he caught 2 within a short space, the fish at 4 and 5lb.

I caught my last fish around 4:00 pm another nice mirror:



We carried on catching some nice crucians and fantails but packed in during as the weather got too bad

Another great day, and the 1st one this season when I've caught more fish than Chris
