bigkipper, on the bank........

bigkipper · Last edited by bigkipper on Sun May 20, 2007 8:23 pm; edited 1 time in total

well i thought it was about time i started a thread of me own. so here go`s.

a revisit to me little bit of heaven resulted in one small carp.

i fished last night and realy thought that i would have these fish cracked in no time, boy was i wrong. the long tredge across the feilds took its toll, and as i arived at the farm lake i was shattered. a bit of a sit down was in order,after a short rest and a quick fag i was up walking round the pond looking for any sign of fish, my last trip to the place saw me with two carp on the bank, nothing big but both were mint, and i couldnt wate to get stuck in to another one.

a swim for the night was picked. from here i could cover the island and the margins and see most of the water, rods out and home for the night set up. by this time it was 6pm. a forth rod was pulled out of the bag and set up in no time, something diffrent i thought for this one, with the rig set and the rod in the rest it was time to get some bait. a few micro pellet droped in the margin, and 20 minute`s later and a quick swish with me net over the top of the pellet saw enough small rudd to see me through the night. yep you guessed it an eel rod, the small rudd were disspatched and one put on as bait. half a dozen other were choped in to chunks for ground bait, line in the clip and the bail arm open, job done.

the night passed quickly, and the only action was to the eel rod, but i didnt find this out till the morning. at 1am i had a single bleep on that rod and put it down to a line bite, i later found out that it was the line being pulled from the clip, and with not enough tention on the line the alarm remaned sillent.GUTTED.

.

as the sun rose and the warmth of the morning warmed the weedy shallow i could make out carp moveing in and out of the weed`s, back at me bivvy i grabed me chum mixers and catty and made my way back. a couple of pouches of chum were scatterd over the weed bed and then it was back to me shelter, the eel rod was soon turned in to a stalking rod, and with pockets full to bursting with mixers, i found my self back on top of the fish happyly slurping down me free offering`s
just as im about to make me first cast a buzzer sound`s cripes!

i was on the rod in seconds and a pretty little common was soon in the net.

the stalking didnt go as planed, and no matter how i tried i could not get one of um to have a go, time was sliping away and nw had already been on the phone wondering when i will return.

but it was ok i saved a blank, one small common is better than nothing.

and i shall be back stronger and wiser. looking to do battle with one of the biges,

hope you enjoy BK

well i was back on the bank friday night for a 24 hour sesh, and boy was it hot. turned up at the lake at 6.30pm and there were already 4 other guys on. my choice of swims was limited, and i had the pick of 3.

after a quick look round i whent for the one that put the most distance between me and the other anglers.

the night past with nothing but a few line bites,

saturday morning and im up at 4am watching the water and there already signs of the carp moveing in to the shallow water ready for sporning.

and sporn thay did, and very enjoyable it was to watch, as the sun rose and the heat of the day hit the water, there was nothing i could do but get the stalking rod out and have a crack at um off the top,

i managed to sneak 6 out to 11lb 04oz,

bike raceing next weekend so wont be fishing but i will be back on um the following week, when hopefully they will have there heads down,

till then good angling to you all

thursday morning and im already thinking about friday night, the weather is bang on and i cant get carping out of my mind. my work is suffering as i drift in and out of a day dream.

a phone call to the lake to get me self booked on ends in disaster as my heart sinks as im told there fully booked. what now?????

a bit of a salk and im back on the phone to the fishery. my question to phill the owner was whats in the other two lakes mate, im told kingfisher only has them in to 8lb, but the family pool has 25 carp in there between 12 and 15 pound. any chance of a go on there i ask?

no prob said phill

RESULT

as no one fishes this pool the smaller carp from the main lake were moved in to there to grow on till thay are upper doubles. then thay will be moved back.

its now friday and im watching the clock, 4.30 cant come soon enough. raceing home, cold play`s why does it always rain on me is on the radio. it can rain as hard as it likes i think to my self them rods will be out by 7.30 without fail.

home and teas on the table and eaten in a flash, gear in the car and im on my way. im at the fishery by 7pm, a swim is picked and im set up in no time. theres a lot of baby carp in this pool so 20mm bait`s is just what the doctor orderd, two rods on catcher baits bannana+pinaple and one on there blackcrab & fruit. rods out and home for the night sorted, nothing to do now but watch and wait.

me first run come at 11.15pm and resulted in a pretty little mirror of 12lb this one fell to a B+P waffter. rod back out and the waiting game begins again.

11.55pm and the buzzer sound`s again drop back this time an im on it in seconds, this one put up a realy good scrap but she was soon in the net.
head light on and me first look at her, a mint common looked back at me. on the scale`s and the needle stoped at 14lb 10oz a quick pic and back she whent.

before dawn i managed to sneak one more out this time another mirror just over 14lb to the blackcrab+fruit.

it was soon light and the night had past the rods were rebaited and placed on there spots, the waiting game begins once more.

two more out before its time to pack up another 14+ and a cracking little ghosty of 11lb 6oz.

time to go home now, till the next time good angling to you all

as some of you will know me and nw had vistors this week end.

matt (markerfloat) his wife and young son made the trip to devon from camberley. they arrived at midday on saturday. a cup of coffee and a chat, while the girls niped out for surplies, what was planed was that we would be fishing while the girls had a night in with the kids LOL

once every thing was sorted we were off, the lake we were fishing for the night, is old trout fishery but the last couple of years has seen it turned in to a carp lake. the last time i fished it i was fluff chucking for trout, and that was about 10 years ago

we arrived at about two ish,and had a walk round, a friend of mine (luke) was allready carping,he had been there since friday and had one carp out. we picked a swim where we could both fish from, we fished the point ,we could bivvy up right next to each other but still have are own water.

we were soon set up and fishing, as we talked about all things carpy and some things not, matt`s right hand rod tore off. a short battle and a mint low double common lay in the net. as me and luke were congratulateing matt on geting off the mark, me ultron sounded and i was in, in no time at all another low double common was safely neted. there like peas in a pod was the comment made.

with one a piece it was looking good, it wasnt just about the fishing mind as this was the first time i had met matt and as we chated a new freindship was formed,

fag after fag was rolled and smoked, a couple of beer`s sunk and the banter continued, a few more fish were caught. an eel rod was set up for the night and cast out to the margins. i managed one eel but only a little un.

the night past and it was soon time to pack up. it seems we wernt the only ones to have a good night as the girls had managed to do justice to a couple of bottle`s.

thanks for a very enjoyable sesh matt

im looking forward to doing it again soon, but yately next time a fella

get your hair cut LOL

sorry no fish pics as me camera was playing up

Good write up BK
It was a pleasure to drive for 2 1/2 hours, getting stuck at Stonehenge, and the Yovilton Air Show to spend a night on the bank with you and Luke.
Cracking little water as well rammed with stunning fish.
One tip i would pass on to you though is DONT have any spicey food the night before we next hit the bank, thats all im saying

When you come up to my patch, i will ask Alan and Jim to pop down as well and make it a little mini social. Alan may be able to organise us a guest ticket on the Split Lake where we can fish for Carp and cats :)

Mac, your not the first to say that about Ming lol B*^&"$^
