The day started of slow, became slower half way through the session and then tailed of at the end…. Yep thats right we didnt catch a thing!

Perhaps it was to wet? or to cold? or not cold enough?

Fingers crossed for next time.

We have been fishing since the last post but sadly we have been slack in writing  new posts (apologies for any followers)

Its that time again, the winter months are upon us and the crisp winter mornings are almost perfect for PIKE!

We’re on a mission this weekend to catch a mother pike on DeadBaits, the lake is private so we can write the location but hopefully it will produce the goods!

Catch Report to follow when we return!

As the Spoon steps up his game the pike are coming out of the lake in their masses* and we are loving it.

Attached is a photo on one of many Jack’s that came out two weeks ago although small the spoon didn’t want to ruin his manicure and had to wear a “Panzy glove” (as Meat Donut calls it)

The next fishathon should be on Saturday if the weather holds out!

Watch this space.

Check out this monster

* = May not be factually correct

Meat Donut and Captain Snooze headed off to the lake with quantity in mind….

and they got it…

Bag of fish!

A sunny Saturday for fishing!

The Rod Race has been updated.

An evening of PIKE!  we have the bait and we are hitting “the lake” after work on Friday.

Rules:

For the last 3 matches we have frustratingly fished this lake with no results! In the 3-4 years fishing in Norwich we have never heard of any maintenance being undertaken to this fishery at all and are confident that there has been no Re-Stocking at this fishery. TBH we are not really prepared to pay the day ticket price for what you get. If you look at some other local lakes like “Barford Lakes” there really is no competition, as its wel maintained, the driveway can be accessed without the use of a 4×4  and its stocked VERY well.

Things that need to change before we will fish it again:

• Entrance to be improved, potholes the size of third world countries makes getting there very difficult
• Re-Stocking of pleasure lake
• Banning of Bite alarms unless anglers night fishing*….

* Seriously why do fishermen need to have bite alarms when they are sitting next to their rods, are they that rubbish at fishing that they dont know when they have a bite? I thought the bait runner going and the rod bending to one side would be enough of a indication!

Will keep everyone posted with and improvements to the lake and MAY fish there again in the future (Hopefully)

Right its all agreed, we have the bait and we are hitting “the lake” early on Saturday.

Rules:

This is getting annoying…. another slow day.

After 4 hours, noone had managed to get even a small bite, though the sunshine, burgers and egg sarnies made it a good day!

After losing patience, Captain snooze switched to the float rod and maggots, stealing the win in the dying minutes with two tiny perch.

Again, no changes on the Leaderboard
