So, i thought ill have a go at writing a blog
Well, on Wednesday it was my birthday, i am now 15. So i decided to by two new reels, i choose Shimano Baitrunner Aero 8000 GTE-B's. Today was my first day out with them. I arrive at a swim known as the turtle and cast my first rod just behind a smallish island of reeds and the second rod on a farely large cove. Being as it was very cold i thought i would just use single baits as the fish wouldn't be on the munch. I then sat behind motionless rods for 2 1/2 hours and then decide for new tatics. I went for single fishe with a pva bag of 3mm troutpellet and crushed boilies and the second rod was a snowman rig fished over a small pva bag of mixed pellets. Almost instantly i got a very finicky take but lost as i had not set the baitrunner very well on the new reels
so i cast out again and reset the drag and the baitrunner clutch again. About 45 minutes later i had another take being a little mirror with the biggest gut i've ever seen. I went very dead again after that so i decided to bait up quite heavily as the fish were munching out on any bait they could find. By Now two kids have set up in the swim opposite and are casting out into my baited areas every five minutes
so i explained to them and they didnt get the point so i shouted at them and they soon moved
but 10 minutes later they were setting up next to me shouting at eachother
. they eventually went when they realised they wern't gonna catch anything. So now i put on double baits to try and pick out the bigger fish and fished them over the baited areas and it worked
The day ended with 6 fish with 5 doubles the biggest being a 15lb Common and a very happy me.
