Yarm Fishery 04/08/12

This trip was a mini match which I organised at Yarm Fishery and 3 of the lads from Anglers Cabin attended (Andyryan, Big-Shaun and Andy1984robson). We met at 8 to draw pegs and we fished from 9 until 2, I draw peg 3.

The weather: the sun was out and it was HOT.

I decided to fish using my Preston CRX600 pole to the island at 13m and fished on the deck and my bait of choice was maggots and micro pellets.

Unfortunately, it was a hard fish, and I landed 3 small Tench, and 4 small Roach.

The Results.
1^st Big_Shaun with 4lb 8oz
2^nd Me with 12oz
3^rd Andyryan DNW
Disqualified Andy1984robson (using 2 rods, but also DNW)   

In summary I think I will wait for the lake to mature before I venture there again. On the funny side Andy1984robson got his pole rig stuck half way up a tree.

Lewy's Lines: The Oaks, Sessay, 16th October 2011: Hoppy's Memorial Match organised by the lads at Anglers Cabin.

The above is an excellent blog and well worth reading.

This was the first and only match I have ever fished to date, it was a really enjoyable day although I come 11^th and weighted in at 2lb 11oz.

I am looking forward to my second match at Yarm fishery on the 4/08/12 which is a practise match with my friends, as I am a fishing charity match on the 18/04/12 at this venue in aid of The Junction which raises money for a Young Carers in Redcar.

Thanks for the great blog Lewy.

Renny Carp big lake 7/7/12

On the 7/7/12 I went to Renny lake and fished for 5 hrs in total.

When I got up at 4am it was foggy as hell, then as I got to Renny at 6am it was clear blue sky.  

I fished using my Garbo 9ft picker with an 1/2oz tip, Drennan cage feeder filled with a mixture of dead maggots, bream 3000, brown crum, I used double live maggots on a Drennan hook size 16. It Fished really well for the first 4 hrs and I pulled in some 20plus fish all carp about the 1lb mark.

When I left the weather was pulling in foggy.



While there I met and talked to Jday and Ged, from Anglers Cabin which is a forum I use on a daily basis and I highly recommend it to everyone,  both the lads I met were nice and friendly.

Over all a cracking day, although no fish bigger then 2lb today, I will be visiting Renny again soon.
