 quiet night but needed and questin well after a nice start to today at docks had the afternoon from hell so decided to chill by going to lime kilns at exeter this eve this is an exeter angling water (part of canal) and noted for bream,tench, carp and pike!!! my target for ast time this year tonight i was using up last of dead baits for pike weather was warm and humid and flat calm, not good but needed time out didnt walk too far from car park (which is below left hand big tree in 1st picture turned right and walked 4-5 mins max( ps have just re gravelled road so no big pot holes now!!!!  )looking north from swim  this is south  sorry to say nowt happened all eve apart fron hot air balloon apearing infront of me about at about 7 which was nice!! :-)  could only float fish bait due to amount of weed, this is a deep 12ft approx swim but weed will grow to top so now will wait till winter again  there was one activity which provokes a question from me tho when i was using last of that stinking lamprey bait was getting a load of bubbles from below(almost like tench) and alot !!!!!!!!!!!!of float movement but no takes  is there anything else that attacks this bait or will pike play with bait rather than just strike???? sorry if this makes no sense went to pub afterwards and had more than a few  dave __________________ 24 beers in a case and 24 hours in a day , Game on www.exmouthsaa.co.uk I have the body of a God, Pity its Buddha :-0     |

| Re: quiet night but needed and questin Here, if its near shore or cover, Minnows (small bait fish) will pick at it, but are way too small to take it. __________________ A bad day fishing is better than a good day working!

 Re: quiet night but needed and questin Nice pics Dave, shame about the fish. Could those bubbles have been made by crayfish? Not sure if theres any there? __________________ One man's fish is another man's poissons http://www.deepsea.co.uk http://www.wildtrout.org |
