Sunday 9 February 2014

Is it just me, but are the nights drawing out?

Its been a couple of weeks since the last post, nothing much to report from my fishing trips, two visits to the junction of the Barrow canal and the Soar below Barrow lock and above Barrow bridge, the thought was that it would be a fish haven , away from the "raging" Soar, its 6foot deep and pretty still, with a few house boats permanently moored, and hence throwing scraps into the water, I thought it had got to be fish soup in there.................nope. 10hours on a feeder, with worm or red maggot on the hook, one roach, gutted. I also had an afternoon on Broomes AS's BJ's lake, again coloured water with a wind blowing up to my end of the lake, one rod with pellet , the other worm.................no line bites let alone a proper pull. So my next trip will be with Bingham AC on the Barrow canal next Sunday, anyone wanting to fish should leave me a message on here. TTFN
