Its been a while... Well actually it hasn't. I went to Bullock Farm last weekend after some serious amounts of rainfall. I have found that this can put the fish off a bit and it was no different. I had a few silvers but it was pretty poor fishing. I will blame the weather, makes me feel better about myself. In addition I forgot to put the sound on whilst making the video to go with it. So in the end I realised all was lost and just scratched it from history entirely.
Which brings us to the present (almost). My Ex Boss Kevin was keen for an outing so I suggested Emerald Pool Fishery as its stuffed with fish and always provides a good bit of fishing.
I arrived on Saturday morning and so had a lot of other anglers. My plan was to get a nice Perch in Ruby but it was packed to the rafters with fisherman so I opted for Jade, near to Kevin who had already caught a 10ib carp before I had arrived!
I set up a simple float rig with natural baits attached to the end (I rotated between caster, maggot and worm). The result?
Pretty damn decent. 40+ Skimmers, some small, some about half a pound and some 1ib upwards.
5 Carp (my biggest 8 ibs)
A nice Perch which made my day, along with some fine Roach and a few hybrids. Plus a Motherless Minnow caught on triple caster!!!!
But (there is always a but) I lost 7(!) carp. All with the hook pinging out, a couple right at the bankside. Annoying but if it was too easy it would get boring.
I've pieced together a video. Sorry its not very good quality - I'm trying to get better.
