Long Time no log

Well not posted a log for sometime, but have been fishing on plenty occasions and completely got out of the habit of updating my blog, are well here's to a fresh start.

Over the year I have targeted Tench, I spent a good few sessions at Rixton with very little to show for it, really has me puzzled that water. The best Tench was around 3lb which was a bit disappointing.

Thought I'd concentrate on Grey Mist and glad I decided to do so with some really good sessions and a lot learnt. Set myself a target of a Tench over 6lb and managed to do so with a stunning fish of 6lb 8oz, boy do these fish fight.

Spent an afternoon course fishing on the River Gowey, basically learning river craft and trotting a float, lots of swims fished with some nice Roach caught and small perch. Initial thoughts are that its a interesting stretch but don't foresee there being any Roach or Perch of specimen size in there but, all the same it was a great learning experience.


Autumn now slowly moving into winter and my thoughts are going to Perch and Pike. Targets are a double figure Pike and 2lb plus Perch. I have caught Perch of this size as a lad, but new start and this is the target set. Going to be disciplined and target the two species until April when a 7lb plus Tench will become the quest.

Perch mission starts this Saturday at Moore Quarry, did have a look at the water on Sunday and it looks like its got the potential, its a tricky place to fish but don't think anyone targets the Perch so it will definitely be interesting.
