Charlton’s Small Pond 27/07/12

Today both my kids and I decided to go fishing again and went back to Charlton’s small pond for another session. We got there at 12.00 and packed up at 4.00.

Had a bit of a issue before we got there as I could not get parked outside of my local tackle shop Spotty Dog in Stockton, however I rang them and they brought the maggots out to the car for me. We then got to the car park for the pond and Hannah noticed that I had forgotten to pick up the kids seats so had to drive back home to get them.

I fished using my Garbolino 9ft Super Squad Picker with a Preston 15g Banjo method feeder and used a size 18 pre tied Preston quickstop 4” hair rig.

My bate of choice today was ringer groundbait mix with added 2mm micro and Asda sweet corn on the hair rig.

Fishing was a fish a chuck again, ended up catching 1 little roach, 9 nice sized Skimmers, a 1.5lb Bream and a very nice looking 2lb Mirror Carp, again I lost a fish at the net as it spat the hook.

 The kids also seemed to really enjoy fishing again and even had a little go on my Leeda 12ft waggler rod with a classic 2bb crystal float, needless to say they are both wanting to go again tomorrow, however, I have been fishing 3 times this week and need to sorted my gear out for a match on the 4/08/12 at Yarm Fishery.

An excellent couple of hours again and I will definitely be fishing there again, they reckon that the Bream go to 6lb in the pond and the Carp to 7lb.
