Anybody Catching part two

like they did last time.  If they don't, then it's a green light to carry on fishing.

just heard in a tackle shop they have stopped people playing golf and tennis , thought these were recreational sports , so fishing could be next .....hope not

The Welsh lockdown ends Monday and Dripford has said there is unlimited travel allowed within Wales but no cross border travel, so it's fill your wellies again for myself. I really struggle to understand in a country where we have no borders other than a wobbly line on a map, how they can stop people travelling freely within the UK, and indeed whether they could legally stop you. Mind boggling in all honesty and goes against everything the UK democracy stands for.

its total madness dave  all this was put into place before we had are half term holiday in October , purely to stop people bringing in whole families from north west hotspots and further afield into wales for there hols .....no we have a lockdown here vice versa when is it all going to end........totally pissed off with it all.......

No cross border travel yet half of South Wales flock over the bridge every day to work here in Bristol and beyond!

went to the perch venue today , had 4 pike and lost a clonker of a perch which was briefly hooked but yet again came off...... ....

Just one in the net today  one came off at the net and 2 missed runs
But at least i had one    
14.5lb


P.S another lot of nice pike from Monday Steve

Nice fish Adia. I had six pike yesterday, this 11lb was the biggest. I received an email from one of my fishing clubs and they have been in
touch with the Angling Trust - apparently, angling will be allowed so all their waters will remain open. As long as we follow the rules we can go fishing.

well in adie there getting bigger mate ...keep going at it , that big girl will show up soon

been out today short session on the perch ......success but lost a bigger one earlier in the session also had 3 pike to 6lb [img][/img]this fish took a live bait on light tackle ........

Cheers Steve and yes they are getting bigger but that's only my second outing who know what will happen next lol probable a blank
I know of two 30s that came out last season and quite a few 20s so you never know

Nice Perch you have there I love these when they when they get to that size love them all but bigger the better

3rd time lucky adie , gutted when the bigger fish fell off thought it was a small pike at first........

Don't you just hate them getting off once you have hooked them and got them most of the way in  
The one I lost at the net looked bigger and did put up more of a scrap but a bloody dog walker was just walking past as I was just grabbing my net and his dog was getting in the way and he made no effort to move it  he just said his dog loves fish he can't wait for you to pull it in  It was getting under my feet and in the way where I wanted to put the net in and he thought it was funny  even when I told him to move his dog but it was too late as I was trying to get past the dog I let the line go slack for a moment and the pike must have sensed it and shuck his head and the hooks flew out i was fuming the bloke took off sharpish he must have realized he was in for a few slightly cross words lol Oh well there's always next time

Good angling chaps, good to see some fish on the bank. Monday is end of lockdown in Wales, so I'll be blanking on a some Welsh water on Tuesday.

same here adie dogs everywhere , don't get me wrong I have a Labrador witch is very well behaved on the bank , but people let there dogs off the leads and cause havoc.... into your baits your rods...... you can guarantee if somebody stops to talk me, my floats are away .......just when I take my eye off the ball
this happened quiet a few times today missed about 4 or 5 runs gabbing away to passer-by's and dog walkers
still had agood 4 hours out today.... 9 pike to 9lb , but targeting perch 1 perch very last knocking about a[img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img] pound...... the last photo is of my dog finn who also likes to see a float go under.......

Nice weather lots of fish what could be better. I will be out again Wednesday I wish I could meet up with my fishing mate
it would be nice not to be on my own.

why cant he fish 50 yds away surely there's no harm in that , as long as you don't travel together , you can meet up with one person outside but distance is still required , I would not worry to much..... like when you go shopping people don't keep there distance and there's hundreds passing by you in the supermarkets.......madness pal......its a lottery

been out again today finished of my jobs early ,so had 3 hours on the bank
started fishing around 12.00 ish till 3.00pm ish
didn't do to bad really...... no monsters ,but really after a big perch as normal .
Ended up with 7 pike to about 6lb dropped 3..... and lost a nice perch yet again ...these fish just don't hang on long enough..ha ho [img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][img]http[img][url=https://servimg.com/view/14785902/584][/img]s://i75.servimg.com/u/f75/14/78/59/02/post_o15.jpg[/img][/url][/img] I will just keep going at the perch , hopefully I will hook into a decent sized one which properly takes the bait , if I leave the float for too long they just leave it... so have too strike early ,and I don't like using trebles for perch , size 4 hook ultra sharp and smallish roach baits

nice catches lads, your all on fire now lol, Adie especially well done on a cracking fish

I had 2 sessions last week for one measly jack, missed lots though so they clearly werent feeding right, we had the first 3 frosts of the year and it killed all sport. We in Ireland are allowed to travel 5km only. Luckily I have 5000 acres of loughs and a mile of river within that range so fingers crossed I find a few big girls soon

been out today 4 hours , got straight into the perch this time ,started of catching a couple of small fish to about a 1lb .. yet again lost a bigger fish at the net ........ as normal the pike showed up to spoil things later
but well chuffed as the method I am using seems to be working and they are getting bigger by the session this one went 2lb 8oz
the one that came off must have been over my 3lb target mark..[img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img] 3 hours in the pike took over the swim ended up with 4 jacks to 6lb ish

Some lovely Perch there Steve that 3lber can't be far away mate

You're on a roll now stubbo, cracking Perch and some nicely marked pesky Pike  

As the Welsh are out of lockdown and I'm free to travel anywhere within the motherland, I headed to a Welsh water that I'm a member of and regularly fish. As normal on here the wind was a pain especially in the afternoon but I managed 2 Pike, best at 11Lbs and my friend who is returning to fishing after a 30 year absence landed one. He also suffered a couple of hook pulls, one of which was definitely a better fish. We also suffered a few dropped runs where our baits were clearly marked, likely to be smaller Jacks.
