My friend Andy and I decided to fish Drombo this evening and fished the middle lake (one next to the car park).Before we started I had a word with a couple of lads who had been there all day who stated they had only caught 3 carp and no silvers and had been there since 8am.
We started fishing at 4pm, I equipped with my 9ft Gardo super squad picker, Drennan 25g feeder and Preston quick stop 4” hook trace. I used ringers method mix with added 2mm pellets and double corn or marine halibut 8mm pellets on the rig.
Fishing got off to a flying start and I was pulling out lots of nice sized silvers from the off using the halibut pellets, I then switched to corn and had lots more silvers and 5 nice carp the smallest been about 1lb with the been largest 3.5ld, this was the first time I had used corn and been successful with it and I think this was due to the Preston method rig. I also found out to my detriment that they are very sharp when I got it in my finger (I think this means that I was hooked, literally!).
The down
side to my trip was the 3 idiots who turned up and decided to fish every peg
which was available moving every 5 minutes, they also then decided to fish away
from each other and only had one landing net between them which resulted in the
running around the pond and been very annoying, one of the young men also
decided to take a telephone call and put his misses on loud speaker who proceeded
to shout and swear at him down the phone.
However,
on the funny side Andy my mate slipped on setting up his gear resulting in him
plunging both of his legs into the pond and having to pod about with no shoes
on.
Overall it was a great evening session and I am looking forward to my next trip to Yarm fishery on the 04/08/12.
