Last weeks customer was 10 year old Gabriel from Brookwood who wanted an introduction to angling so he could compete against his older brother. I have always thought that its far easier to keep there attention span for longer by float fishing and come the end of our four hour morning session Gabe had caught upwards of twenty tench and a crucian.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Monster eel.</span><br />
Many years ago I use to spend three/four nights a week during the month of May for eels and was fortunate to catch plenty of fives, sixes and a seven. Nowadays if I get three nights a year for one of my favorite species I'm lucky and if one graces my net then its a result so guess how I feel after my second session this spring produced this monster? I really do need to make more time!<br />

<span data-offset-key="bufrf-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">An hour of patient feeding to get the carp competing in the crystal clear water was needed before a single rod with a zig was positioned and half a dozen of these came along. Not the biggest but watching them take zigs in such clear water does help fine tune things as its amazing just how many times I got done before one slipped up.</span></div>

Back then, when it was controlled by Cemex Angling I almost had the lake to myself and remember the brilliant fishing it delivered including this breeze block of a tench weighing 10lb 4oz that was taken on the float and size 18 hook!</span></div>

have to be either a session fishing into darkness or even an all night session
which gives you the added bonus of lading a few tench in the morning. Tench
sessions are from dawn onwards.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Unfortunately with Dad's funeral this coming Friday fishing will have to take a backseat till next week, as it has done for the last couple. In the meantime I'm thinking of the reason we all go fishing, waking up in the morning to sights like this and if a fish or two come's along then lets face it, its a bonus.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05218658265422521518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106123230485178280.post-42222375612013740352018-05-15T09:46:00.001-07:002018-05-15T09:46:05.188-07:00Catch more Carp on Paste<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="di032" data-offset-key="frgd8-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">There’s no
better way of catching tench than on the float and I know a venue where sport
can be hectic even on a sunny day. The ‘mag & wag’ has seen a decline in
its use in recent years, probably due to the introduction of the heli-rig, flat
–bed feeder and pellet cone but watching a float slid away to me is one of
anglings finest moments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">Recently it’s
all been about heading to relatively easy venues and getting a few bites.
Harris Lake controlled by Godalming Angling is not just for members but also for
anglers wanting to fish a well stocked lake on a day ticket.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about this venue is that it contains no carp so tactics can be scaled down in
order to catch the stunning crucians and tench within. My last session lasted
just three hours and was all about getting some action and catch images for a European
magazine article and fish after fish graced my net. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

great thing on Harris is that it’s a great water to learn and perfect tactics
like the pellet cone, flat-bed feeder and helicopter rig as well as float
fishing in the margins. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">If you fancy
learning a few new methods then heading to your local water or even returning
to Harris to enjoy its fantastic sport then I’m offering tutorial days which
include bait, tickets, terminal tackle, even the use of my tackle if needed.

Another wet day but with the weather improving as the day progressed I finished
off getting organised and headed to Johnsons Lake hoping the crowds would have
disappeared and the lake would be quiet, wrong! The car ppark was rammed as was
the railway bank with around ten anglers all looking as if they were set up for
the night. Undeterred but slightly on the back foot I headed to quieter waters
and soon had a 5lb tench in the net. The same rod was away half an hour later
which turned out to be a fish of a lifetime, a crucian weighing exactly 4lb.
This close in rod then went quiet but the distance maggot feeder started to
produce, three tench in fact all around 5lb. As darkness fell the action tailed
off so at 9.30pm I called it a day. Rumours are the crucians are hard to come
by and the fishing tough so to take five fish in less than five hours to say I
was buzzing is an understatement. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">04/04/18</b> – Up
early and at Johnsons come 6am but how two days can differ as today its not far
of a frost, the atmospherics have gone from 994mb to 1018mb overnight and the
clouds have dispersed leaving a cloudless sky , oh and the wind has swung and
is now coming from the N/W. It was always going to be tough but at least I got
a bite from a tench that is more than most! Back at home come midday and
quickly organised the zig tackle for a few hours tomorrow. Not allot happening
at Johnsons but one angler did have four crucians the day before, best 3lb 15oz
but most struggling for bites and then when they come are mostly from tench.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">06/04/18</b> – Headed
to Johnsons early this morning really to make sure my zigging tackle is all
organised as I have a friend who wants to get to grips with this method next
week. Found plenty of carp in front of peg 7 but a few small problems with rigs
tangling meant come midday no bites had come and I needed to rethink certain
approaches. Luckily an angler called Karl was also zigging and gave me some
really useful tips to avoid these tangles. Cheers mate!</div>

Knowing that Johnsons would be rammed first thing, decided to delay my arrival
until midday when most would have hopefully avoided the rain and headed home.
My tactic worked as just seven other anglers were around so had the choice of
swims. Heading to the railway bank I dropped into muddy peg 18 with Chris in 17
and although hopeful I did fear that there would be allot of bait still
un-eaten in front of us. Fishing the cone on one and heli-rig on the other I
was away after about an hour from a tench but things looked grim as the lake
was still, no fish showing and the rain relentless! I managed one more bite
come 8pm which came from a 3lb 1oz crucian and Chris managed just one tench. </div>

was all about one of my regulars, Neal Webb learning the art of zig fishing,
even if catching a carp was a little remote due to the chilly north wind and
knowing that most of the fish were out in the middle of the lake, well out of
reach of our casting capabilities. Fortunately the rain that was forecasted
never arrived and we were able to go through the whole procedure including
rigs, baiting, clipping up, lead dropping etc. Although he had booked a whole
day I had decided that it best, due to the conditions, that this was split into
two half days, today about learning and then the second about catching. In
between time he could head out with the knowledge learnt to a heavily stocked
venue and catch a few before returning to my venue where he would stand of
catching a number of twenties. As expected the carp were showing at distance
but one of the rods did rip off, however the culprit was a decent sized tench!</div>

hoping for one last chance at a big crucian at Johnsons but on arrival at
midday the lake was rammed so having my father with me decided to head to
Harris Lake. Knowing that it’s been a slow start at Johnsons I was half
expecting the same on Harris but ten minutes in and the first of more than a
dozen tench graced my net. It was a strange session as even after trying to get
Dads rods going I couldn’t and I must have had ten fish before his first bite,
however my swim died and his came alive and come 7pm he had caught me up and we
called it a draw at around thirteen fish each which included the odd crucian
around 3lb!</div>

banks of Johnsons for one last try for another big crucian. Barrie and Mark
were already there when I arrived at 6.30am and amazed at how quiet it was
which allowed us all to set up in a row along the Railway Bank. Conditions once
again not great, basically as there was very little wind. I was off the mark
first with a tench which came three hours in followed by another big crucian,
once again weighing exactly 4lb. Another tench came later in the day but come
5pm it was clear things wernt going to liven up. Mark and Barrie stayed on but
Barrie couldn’t buy a bite even after moving a number of times and Mark managed
five tench and a 3lb 2oz crucian.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">19/04/18</b> – Early
start, up at 4.30am as heading to Brighton Marina to fish for plaice. Arrived
at my brothers at 5.30am and headed down with good friend Chris. Arriving at
just after 7am we parked (free if using the marina facilities) in the marina
car park then walked to the East arm picking some black lugworm up on route.
Hottest day of the year and slightly further walk that would have liked but
finally dropped into slot 33 on the bend of the arm. Thirty minutes in and the
first bite came to my rods which produced the first plaice of the day, all ten
inches of it! Bites continued to 1pm (high tide) which resulted in a variety of
species, small plaice, dab, rockling, black bream and whitting to name a few
but all were very small. There were a few other species caught, spurdog,
dogfish, Pollock and bass but again all small and come 3.30pm with the sun
beating down, anglers casting everywhere we decided to head home and beat most
of the traffic. The session wasn’t all about catching, although a few 2lb plus
plaice would have been nice, but more of a catching up with Chris as its been
over 5 years since we all last fished together. It won’t be five years again as
we are planning a mackerel session on Hayling this summer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

due to car problems which put me at a loose end but managed to spend a couple
of hours with Dad and Mick (girlfriends dad) at Badshot Lea who were catching
bream even in the hot weather, before sorting the zig kit out for a few hours
at a local day ticket venue on Sunday.</div>

dozen carp to 18lb by 6pm!</div>

Headed to Badshot Lea in the hope of getting a few carp feeding on the surface

they weren’t in a feeding mood so no need flogging it out in wrong conditions. </div>

what Dad would have wanted, me to continue my passion through the hardest times

to keep myself active and to get some images I needed to get a European article
completed. Fished with my mate Chris who helped with images and another good

wasn’t great, horrid cold northerly and just six degrees but we had a few fish,

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">Yesterday I
visited a local day ticket venue in the hope of finding, not an easy venue for
catching carp on zigs but one where I needed to work continuously in order to
put a few carp on the bank. Zig fishing is all about ‘effort’, finding the
right depth the fish want to feed in, what colour zig they prefer and of course
feeding to get them going. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I stumbled on the perfect venue which in an afternoon session produced numerous
carp to 18lb. This lake also contains numbers of bigger carp, up to high

perfecting the method then taking it to other waters.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
The weekend before last I had arranged to meet my father at GAS Johnson's Lake but word had got out about the odd big crucian being caught and it seemed the world had descended onto its banks. There were the odd swim free, however this would have been in the teeth of a chilly north wind, one I wouldn't have minded, but dad at 86 probably would have found this somewhat uncomfortable so we decided to see how Harris Lake was fishing?<br />
Once again all the favoured swims were taken so we dropped into pegs 26 and 27, an area I rarely fish but with the wind blowing down this end I wasn't that bothered. Dad fished a flat-bed feeder whilst I stayed with the Pellet Cone, both of which contained 2mm Nash pellets in their own way. Plastic maggot on one rod and corn on the other, both soaked in Nash Scopex No 1 flavour were cast tight to the island before we sat back. We had already said that half a dozen fish by dusk would be good, a target based on how hard neighboring Jonhsons was fishing, so when my alarm sounded ten minutes in I was quite surprised. Corn seemed the best bait however with ten tench in less than two hours, Dad was somewhat struggling having lost just one fish. I had been constantly helping him to try and get his rods working but it seemed that my swim contained fish, whilst his didn't. I then took a walk over to Johnsons and when I returned he was into his third fish, this time a crucian around 3lb! Whilst Dads swim came alive mine died and four hours later I could only add four more tench whilst dad another eleven, mostly tench but also another big crucian.<br />

A change in the way I bring 'My world of Angling' to you. I have decided to go back to my old style of bring news to you, so the monthly blog will stop and in future every session will be shown here in a short session round-up. This is because I want to let you know of things as they happen so expect more frequent posts.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05218658265422521518noreply@blogger.com0
