So last weekend Aoibheann and I went fishing. The picture above shows the swim we settled on after doing a complete circuit of the Dobsons Lake which again is part of the Newbury Angling Association.
It took us about an hour to circuit the lake and get set up with all of our stuff. At this point I thought I had left the maggots at home which would have been a disaster so after checking the bags AND the car I phoned my wife to check the fridge and by the front door. Hmmm still no maggots so after re-checking my bags I finally found them in the barrow bag section. Phew. Once we had the maggots I then plumbed the depth just by the overhanging tree to the left of the swim.
Once I had gotten Aoibheann up and running I setup a basic ledger system and cast out. Somehow I managed to hit the top of the tree on the island infront of Aoibheanns chair in the picture to the right. After unsuccessfully trying to free it I had to break the line. So I re-set up and cast out using the boilies Aoibheann and I made in an earlier blog.
I was very surprised that after a couple of hours the boilie still smelt the same as when I cast out :). Unfortunately neither of us caught anything but it was a stunning day for it if not a tad windy.
Blog Later.....
