Needing a break from my unsuccessful predator exploits I planned a trip to Hopsford Hall with light feeder tactics after whatever swam. After placing a call to the fishery and them confirming it was closed until 14th February I thought I'd take a trip to Jubilee pools. Once I'd remembered that too was closed until 12th March I headed to Stockton (Blue Lias).
The wind was strong again but I set up in the lee of an island near the car park and fished towards using liquidized bread and maggots in a feeder and red maggot on the hook.
Football on Radio 5 live and fishing go hand in hand on a Saturday afternoon. |
A wrap-around bite on the lightweight quiver resulted in an 8oz roach.
8oz roach. |
I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon catching a dozen and a half roach up to 13oz. In fact I had two fish at exactly that weight.
1st 13oz roach. |
2nd 13oz roach. |
Cheers.
