Serpent Peg 8 Tuesday 19th April 2011
8.20am kick off. A few others there but still very quiet for the size of the place. Factor 15 applied and expectation that it would reach 25 degrees. Informed by mobile weather station Nico that it was 6 degrees and rising - cold. Set up for first session on the pole this year. Double red maggot and a few skimmers, crucians and roach followed. Where were all the carp? Then to cut a long story short Zeus came down from the heavens bringing a large fog cloud with him. Lakeview descended in freezing temperatures for the next 3 hours, hands froze to the pole, hoody applied and if I'd had it coats would have as well. It was freezing!!!!!!!!!!
11.30am it started to warm up but by then the damage had been done. Fished ok , enjoyed it. Had a complete mixed bag bream, roach, barbel, crucians, quite a few small tench up to 1lb and eventually the usual carp. Weather was up and down like a rollercoaster ' life is a rollercoaster ' Nico informed me!
Carp came on the feed around 3pm on corn right up to the reeds. Had around 40 fish in the end. Steady. As one bloke said you've had more than everyone else on the lake put together.
The weather aways does us in. Roll on artic, wind, sand storms, snow and 29 degrees on the Royal Wedding.
