Cheeky Weekday Session

So my wife has had a tonsillectomy on Tuesday so I was hoping if she was well enough Aoibheann and I would be able to get out to the NAA.  Unfortunately she has an infection and so has been more poorly than we thought she would be.  Never the less my amazing wife insisted Aoibheann and I went this afternoon.

So quickly throwing the things in the car we were of to Warwicks Water again part of the Rawlings Retreat complex.  I have to admit I wasn't particularly organised I forgot the camera and Aoibheanns chair.  Luckily I had my phone on me so I got a couple of pictures :).

 For this session I used some Hemp Oil readily available from Tesco's as "Good Oil".  You can find it with the other cooking oils.  I also had Silver X and sonubaits exploding fishmeal and crushed corn.  I also added some liquid bloodworm flavour.

For today's session Aoibheann wanted to try a rod and reel.  Now I thought this may be problematic as she is only three.  So I fished on the bottom using a method feeder made from the ground bait materials above with two sweetcorn on a hair rig.  This would enable me to help her and forget about my rod.  I just had to wait for the buzzer to go off :).

Aoibheann was fishing just a smidge over depth with one or two red maggots on the size 16 hook.  Typically she was first to catch a small roach.  I then caught an even smaller roach picture right.

After about two hours this was all we caught and to rub it in I could see a good 8 - 10 lb mirror carp rolling on the surface and there were other multiple fish jumping around the lake but Aoibheann wanted to head home to check on mummy so we packed up and headed off.

As I said I don't know if that will be that for this week as when we got home we had to take my wife back to the doctors for more pills and it is supposed to rain all weekend.  Now it wouldn't bother me but I don't think my three year old would enjoy it even if she is nearly four lol.
