| Double Venue Day.. hi everyone, long time no speak I am having technical problems at the minute  it seems to just be with forums, it takes up to a minute to load each page and when loaded some features don't work correctly...I have had a few outings in the past month, all with average results i have had nothing stand outish, a few at about 8lbs and a few smaller, all in all not bad. Well tommorow we are heading to are usual haunt for an early session and then later moving to a much larger venue, mostly just for a change of scenery and hopefully a few more pike  .Its nice to be back again, BW __________________ Blackwater Tackle Supplies Keep Ulster's Waters Healthy, Practice Catch and Release!     |

| Re: Double Venue Day.. We'll it wasnt as early as a morning as first thought, we forgot that are method of transport to are first venue was on a tractor, the problem was that it had no lights!! so we couldnt set off in the dark, it was around 7 by the time we got to the lough. We set up with ledgered mackerel and ledgered eel section to a range of about 30 feet, it turned out to be a very dissapointing session with only one drop back, in saying that we only stayed a few hours cause we wanted to head on to th next port of call. It took us a while to get there on are slow but steady mode of travel, and it took us a while to find the spot we were told to fish.  Front of Swim  Side of Swim It was also slow to get going with are first run after about an hour and half which unfortunately we missed  As we were waiting on the Dead Baits i set up a spinning rod to see if i could hit into anything, well i had a follow from a pike on the first cast on a small spoon, but the weed was proving difficult to deal with, so i decided to put on a surface lure, it was a popper, which took a while to get used to. It was not long until a pike came up for the plug but missed it, it also happened once more but that was the end of the action on the lures. Next time i really want to get one off the surface. The fish started to show after lunch time, it was not the biggest pike i have ever caught and it is most likely the smallest but it was nice to get a fish from a new venue,  The next fish was a bit bigger, around 4.5lbs and then the next was the biggest of the lot at 5lbs.  Upside down?? It was a very rewarding day as the venue is massive, that picture of the swim isnt even a 50th of the lough, it really is the biggest lough around my area, and i'm sure it holds some crackers. I'll be back on sunday to see what i can do again, BW __________________ Blackwater Tackle Supplies Keep Ulster's Waters Healthy, Practice Catch and Release! |
