reflection on the season

[baitmaster]

well with only ten days left and thew weather being pants and i know for a fact that the drains going to be out of sorts and my chances of getting out are starting to look grim but i,m going to keep my fingers crossed that i get another chance to get out ( i hope ) .
but to cheer me up i thought i would reflect on the season that seems to have flown by .
now it does not seem that long ago when i started the season and getting the urge to go earlier than normal and during september saw me craddling a cracking specimen of 12lb


also this season i,ve fished with other who i,de met for the frist time and are now great freinds

barrie c



gary aka ( lure miester)



i,ve been privaledge to help others catch there first zeds but it took a couple of sessions didn,t it dan ? but it will be a moment dan will not forget well done mate



my season continued steaderly and a few good doubles came my way like this specimen
12lb 6oz


but if i had to pick out a moment in the season it would have to be when i banked a high brace of zander in november during a very hectic session



but not all zander were big to be memorable moments like my first lure caught zed



i continued in catching good specimen while hopping from venue to venue like this 11lber



with the new year starting i was still catching well and started the new year with yet another double



then the season took a turn for the worse with the firstly the cold snap then the constant wet weather saw me struggling but i came through the difficult and i was happy though as i,de caught more zeds than ever .
and i also like to think i helped barrie in catching a monster of 15lb plus top angling mate



so now that brings me right back to now and i hope i can get out and a catch another zed or two but we will see and hope i get my chance and i hope good fortune will shine on me and i get rewarded with the fish i continue to dream about

well i did manage one last trip out and it was good to finish in style with my 9th double of the year in the form of this 10lb 120z specimen .
which finished of another target aswell in the form of catching a double figure zander of every drain i fished this season

Great post Kev.

Like you have said, my first zed is a moment I will never forget and I have you to thank for that.

Even the blank sessions were good fun, and to see you with catching the fish you love most was great, I look forward to seeing you cradling a 15lb+ zed soon!

It's a shame we never managed more sessions than we did, but there is always next season!

well done there kev for the whole season on catching your zeds mate it looked you had a fantastic time i hope on the next season you will bank that 15lb+ zeds well done mate

[Twiddler]

What a season it was for you....you might not have caught the 15lb+ but you certainly had some fantastic zeds.

Most of all, you always done a superb write up on your catches, very well written, informative and entertaining. It always showed your passion and dedication.........

Good luck for the next season Kev and I have no doubt you will get the zed of your dream....and please keep up the good work on your reports

Kev,

What can I say? great post and thank you for the kind words. Been great to share the zander fishing experience this season.

been doing a lot of reflecting on the season myself and this year was a lot more enjoyable than last year!

I'm just waiting for that phone call now, before the 14th March -

Cheers

I know it did not end on a high but just looking at your session !!!

Truely amazing number of zander

[BaggieRich]

Been a funny old season hasn't it Kev? Still more Zeds than ever before surely means that it's only a matter of time before one of them is the lunker you've been chasing. In the mean time just enjoy the thrill of the chase mate.

Great reports & superb fish. It's not been a bad season eh???

Looks like you have had a great season really Kev by most peoples standards,there is some cracking fish shown in the photos.
Im confident you will get your 15lber sooner rather than later and i will look forward to reading your report about it, it still might be this season yet mate if you can get another session in.

regards robm.
