One Of Those Days

[Martopp]

well yesterday can be classed as one of those days, or i am just crap one of the two. Started off on one drain piking ,two rods various baits and rigs, not
a single bite.
Then last night went zedding three rods cast nearside, farside and middle of drain fished for four hours and had one dropped run, and that was that,,,, until next time.

Unlucky mate, it is just one of those days,(then again, I have not seen you fish before LOL) we have all suffered in the past and we will all do again in the future, that's fishing for you, especially when targeting Zander

better luck next time

unlucky

We all have days like that ! but like Darrell said , thats how it goes sometimes

[Martopp]

yep had plenty of blank trips in my time,, never mind will stick at it,will let you know if i catch

[blackwater]

Blanks are there to make the good days better, just remember that!

Thats fishing mate,especially with Zander as you can find what you think is a hot swim only for the old Zeds to vanish for weeks on end. Ive been targeting some of the tougher Fenland waters with blanks becoming the norm unfortunately, but these waters have reputations for big, outsize Zander so I guess its worthwhile to hear that line whistling during the hours of darkness.

Hello mate. If you went zedding on the drain i think it was, then the zeds dont appear to be on it or in the area as much as a few weeks ago. When I met you that time i ended up returning on the following sunday and wednesday after that and had a total of 19 zeds to 9lb 7oz. Since then i've been back three more times for 3 zeds, 2 of which came out to jig in daylight. I think the zeds have reacted to the recent pressure and moved upstream perhaps? Also started catching crabs and where i thought i was getting dropped runs i now think they are crabs not eels. Forgot the imported crabs name but apparantly spreding like mad on the drains. They mutalate roach baits and always seem to eat the eyes of the roach, looks like i might have to fish popped up roach to get round this. Have you come across these crabs yet ? Should be back fishing this Saturday doing afternoon and evening to bout midnight.

Tight lines.
