Sedges Canal 12.05.24

 Sedges Canal 

Last minute booking on & wow I’m glad I did it was a really enjoyable day tbf.. 

Met in the cafe as usual then on to the draw that gave me peg 60, this was the 3rd time for me on this canal & I quite enjoy it. 

On my left was George on my right Phil Dodd nice company for the day across I had Beardsy then Rob Dodd so plenty to watch & see what’s going on ? 

It was always going to be tuff going spawning fish everywhere not ideal but it was what it is-so straight across about a foot off - a track rig & a edge rig & a couple of shallow rigs, George was straight into a nice bream & cracking on with the silvers & Phil D was on the traditional wag, Beardsy was loosing foul hookers down the edge & Rob was picking up fish as usual. I was getting small carp steadily but they were small. I backed off the spawning fish to try & build a swim of feeding fish that seemed to be working. I was rotating with this & the track whilst dribbling feed in the margin. 

Everything was going well & getting better until doom struck some how my rig weak’nd & a carp finished it I went straight to the track rig & altered it to more a less the same but never is ??? That was that line done the wind picked up & then it was to hard across. The margin looked good plenty of fish showing but nothing apart from two small carp, George was steadily catching skimmers on & off then a big tench that he lost 😡 he was absolutely gutted & banged on about it for ages & more 🤪🤪

Well done to everyone on a hard but enjoyable day. 

A bit of an unusual weekend this week I’ve got my first pairs match of the season & it’s at Dunwear Saturday on the main lake then hopefully Trinity Sunday. 

Have a good week see you on the next 😁🎣

95.05.24 Avalon

 Sorry it’s gone up so late but totally forgot about it, tbf I wouldn’t think there’s much to write about as I fished it on the Saturday with the Watchet Guys.

We had the roadside bank & Vic had his open on the other bank, the lake was nearly full & it fished rock hard, however, I did manage 4th on the Silvers with 6.7.. 

Vic’s open carried on after we left but they were also struggling Vic had 2 Carp Alvin Jones was still on 1 so that says it all. 

Tight lines I’ll see you all soon not fishing this weekend as the wife is away with work so I’m dog sitting, maybe not such a bad thing with the heat there bound to be thinking if not spawning
