Summerhayes- Longs
So here we go again the blog is officially back woop woop 🙌 I’ve always enjoyed doing it tbf..
This weekend was meant to be a flat out weekend of matches but doom struck & I could only do the Sunday I was also meant to be at Avalon on the Saturday for a Silvers league with the Watchet Guys.
5.15am my alarm goes off wake up it’s match day 😃 I’d already sorted my bait on the Saturday so not much to do just re-riddle the Gb & riddle my maggots off boy do I luv clean maggots plus I had to dye them so about 15 minutes & I was done the van was loaded & happy dayz, time for my quota of tea normally about 4 mugs on any morning before I leave the house including work 🤣🤣
I met Locko Stan & Beardsy at Gregg’s they had their breakie baguettes etc far too early for me to eat.
So on to longs when we pulled in the car park it was pritty much full I had a good chat with Bagger Allen about are trip to White Acres coming & how far away our caravans are going to be from the club house 🤪🍻
A quick catch up with Matrix Tony & on to the draw for 34 I dont fish longs that much to know what’s what I do prefer Sellicks tbf to my left I had Jordy Searle & Bagger Knewll to my right a couple down was Matrix Tony followed by the Guru & then the Silvers guys Rob Eagle & Bagger Allen just off the corner was Locky & Dave tunts so a good line up.
My outlook was decided before I even got there with the frost & a sunny day Carp !!! Dobbing & maybe some half depth - well that sort of changed after 50 minutes in - one carp which I lost on a hook pull that’s me rushing I don’t know why ?
So I started my lines - feeding around 11.15 couldn’t see Eric catching or Tony or Matrix but I did see catching carp was my buddy Lee Merritt a class angler tbf he was in the corner known for carp on the left..
I started to get really small dinks & the smaller the dink the better stamp it was of skimmer I was hooking carp in between & again hook pulls I should be a master of hook pulls if I netted all the hook pulls I have I’d do alright.
Even tho the sun was out it was tricky seeing the brissle doted down, previously I’d bought some new Preston sun glasses & yesterday they saved me I could see every dink - nice 😊
So all I done all day was rotate three lines at 14m keeping all of them fed at different times a bit of a concentration zone but I managed it & luved it - it was a great day on the bank & great company, I could see Lee catching most of the day, Jordy started to pick the beat right up proper giving me neck ache didn’t see Bagger knewll on em like he normally is infact I couldn't see much, George didn’t seem to be doing much & neither did Gringe but he was down the edge most of the day like a Heron literally didn’t move 🤣🤣 I thought I was doing ok on the Silvers & if the carp did move in & I could have a run of them all to play for so it was a really interesting day as my buddy would say Kinger luv winter 🥶 fishing your never out of it..
Trinity next week now that is an interesting question not to sure myself but I’ll probably be there but what to do on the day hmmm ?? That’s fishing 🎣 really looking forward to the spring as I have a match Saturday & Sunday all the way through to Autumn 🍂
Tight lines & see you Sunday please bare with me on the wright up it’ll get better & more in depth with most just warming up 😎👍🏻🎣
