Ingredients
1. A carefully selected and well though through venue.
2. A variety of fish species .
3. A quiet isolated spot away from noise and pressure of other anglers.
4. A mixture of bait to meet the feeding habits of the different species.
5. Good company.
6. Warm, dull and slightly breezy weather.
7. A variety of different equipment to meet all scenarios.
Well at least one ingredient was in placed into the pot as the boys headed to Cudmore. Which one? But as usual high expectations were soon dashed, starting with the 7am call 'where are you?' - 'we are meeting at 7.30am?', ' there is a queue of 30 cars', 'yes but we are meeting at 7.30am?'. At which point perhaps we should have turned around and headed for a day watching Will and Kate.
Nico's blue elastic tested to the limit!!!
PC loving very second
Anyway the optimism flooded in, in fact it over flowed as we headed to pool 1. The catcher opting for the unusual choice of method feeder resulted in a bite a chuck and eventually the loss of a carp. Captain Nico and PC headed for tried and trusted poles. Soon all three anglers had a carp a piece. Then nothing. 3 hours past and apart from temperatures plummeting and the odd gudgeon - zip, nothing, zilch.
Anyway a fairly uneventful series of events unfolded. In short changed lake, ended up on Brewsters which has been emptied. Small stockies followed and then home. Disappointed and uninspired for this blog. We need more and plans were formulated on the journey home. Can't win them all or bag up every time! Until the next session OAO
