Woolwich Dockyard Wonder!
|
I had got
up Saturday morning a bit later than I would have liked but I went
down to Woolwich dockyard for a spot of fishing. I had one out on
the Lineaeffe Regency
float rod and the other on the Lineaeffe Senator carp rod with a ledger on a basic bolt rig set up. I
started off using boilies on the carp rod but then I thought to
myself that I haven't used anything natural on the carp rod for a
while, so I opened a tin of prepared chickpeas and hair rigged one
on the hook, plopped it out and waited. After having numerous small
fish, perch and silvers on the float, my bite alarm went mad! I
struck in to a nice feeling fish and after a few minutes I pulled
out a lovely 5lbs 8oz common...

5lbs
8oz Common Carp |

After
catching this - I thought to myself "hmm this is goooooood!" so
another chickpea went on and some more loose feed scattered around
it...again after catching numerous small fish on the float, at an
extremely unexpected time the alarm gave me a one toner! So I jumped
up and hit it, in to what felt a much bigger weight and it was! The
fish didn't want to surface! and every time I got it to the top it
shot back under like there was a bag of bricks on the end of my
line, even with the Lineaeffe Senator 2.5lbs test curve rod and 12lb line this fish
felt like it was going to be nice and the end result was a good
one....after having it on a SINGLE chickpea as well as the other one
I finally landed a new P.B carp (By 1 whole ounce!) of 8lbs 9oz |
8lbs
9oz Common Carp |
I did have a good day Lol, thanks for reading all! Tight lines
Ash Well done Ash, a pair of beauties amongst a good days fishing and well done
on a new PB.
