My First Zander

Hi guys this is my first report so here goes

I fished wednesday from about 2pm in Ely, yes the wind was bad but bareable as it was off our backs i met up with darrell for a night session. we got setup at the bottom of an embankment so we were sheltered from the wind, after a quick chat to check my rigs were ok the rods went out.

I had one dropped run just after it got dark so re baited and cast out again.
Darrell was first off the mark with a screaming run at about 6pm and a nice plump 8-9lb zander was on the mat then gently slipped back.

At 7:30 my rod screamed off i picked up the rod and struck into the fish, after a nice scrap i got the fish to the surface and my nerves were shot as i saw my first zander coming to the net, afyer a breif struggle at the net where the hooks got tangled the zander was finally safely in the net where the hooks came out, Then onto the mat weighed and photographed and sent back into the murky depths to hunt again.

I was buzzing my T**S off as my first zander weighed 11lb 8oz



we packed up at about 10pm as the wind turned and started to hit us from the side and started to get a bit dangerous.

Sorry it went on for so long
