Well its the eve before my first session on my new target water and I will shortly be doing the usual ritual of sorting the kit out, tying up fresh rigs and loading the van.
I visited the Pit a few days ago and come across a stunning double figure Tench sat in the margins, Ive heard there are also some 17 lb+ Bream in the water so I'm hoping the Carp grow to the same huge proportions!
Ive heard they go to 40 lb+ but who knows, a water with that amount of naturals they could just go a bit bigger!
Anyway, Martin (my trainee) will be joining me for my first night and I'm going to teach him a few more bits and pieces, including feature finding.
He has taken a huge jump in his angling, he is yet to fish a runs water! But at least he will know that waiting for days, weeks and in some cases months on end for a run is the norm!
Right, time to sign off and I hope (but not expecting) to report back with news of a Chunk!
Take Care,
Smithy
