A quick session was in order as Mrs N was due at a party 2-4pm and it seemed that the temp would again stay above 5/6 degrees with sunshine ( remember that)
I arrived at Park Hall after a failed visit to Sherwood. there were pegs but for three / fours i wanted an easy one and the pikies had turned out in force.
As i slipped the envelope into the cabin i did wonder if i should have tried Vicars Water for silvers, but in it slipped and i was committed.
Riding down the path i first saw a guy land what looked like either a big chub or a bream, he netted it....it was good enough
A further 50 yards and a guy was playing a ' creature' on the feeder i stopped in the car to watch for a minute or so ......he was having trouble...the carp didnt want to now
I pulled into peg 40.....car behind and the sun shone.....T Shirt and pole all the way
With Park Hall despite all the anglers catching and two fish caught as i drove down for some reason i still wasnt convinced.....it was to prove a wise profecy
The session ( sherwood or Park ) was to fish maggot and pole to test rigs / floats etc....i wasnt in it for carp..good job
After 45 mins i reported in....nothing.....no bite....not a touch.....20 hook single maggot and a small pellet......jesus
i worked so hard....pellets cupped / maggots same.....light.....little...often....nothing.....
I then pretended it was July and started to spray a few maggots.....Result.....change of rig and hooks and the float went....Roach around 6oz......mmmm
I then stuck at it and had 3 Ide and 3 Roach.....The ide went around a 1lb each not like springlea although the roach were tiny....
Worked like a trooper to catch....blank was on cards for a long time
As i packed up the bloke next to me had a decent carp on feeder....i dont get this place i really dont.
the carp were stirring the weeds....spawning another sunny week away
