Well surprisingly enough I didn't get a bite.... But it was a bloody good feeling to sit with a rod out, even if it was for only 20 mins!! It's been toooooo long!!

Still doing the much time thing..... 7 attempts and 7 blanks..... Moved onto swan for the last couple and had 1 'occurrence' where the line tightened briefly (I don't think it was the wind) and that was it!!
Leaving it this week as I'm finally spending a few days there at the end of the week!!
Praying it doesn't rain 24/7 like my trip in April did!!! Can't wait!!!!

Well chaps............. what can I say!!
This is how the story unfolded...
I turned up Thursday evening after work and decided to get 2 rods out on solidz whilst I tried to get set up before dark!
I decided to get the third rod out diagonally to my left on a bottom bait boilie running rig. I also got a good few baits around that area with a throwing stick.
I decided to leave my solidz alone for the night, athough I had no action aside for a liner or two!
The next morning I was up early watching for the fish, and decided to get sorted after a bit of brekkie.
8am the left rod went off (boilie rig) and 5 mins later I had a lovely mirror in the net..... A new PB of 17lb 4oz! Over the moon with that.... the Mirror clearly liked the Poacherbaits TnM boilie!
So I got that rod back out and went to work on my main spot. I found a decent gravelly area out in from over a bank of weed...... so I spombed a decent amount of Hinders Nutz Sludge, Carp Krunch and Tigernut and a few other bits. I then got 2 inline drop off rigs out there.... one on the same rig that had got me my new PB and the other on a KD with the new Korda Fake Food Banoffee corn.
Lunch time saw a decent run on the KD.... turned out to be a 5lb 7oz Tench.
I basically kept the spodded area topped up and the left rod topped with scattered TnM boilies.
8pm saw the left rod off again, and after a decent fight and 5 mins locked solid in weed..... I landed what looked a decent fish.... but it was dark! Scales showed the Common was 24lb 13oz...... I couldn't believe my PB had gone twice in a day!!
I got the rod back out and before I had even thrown more boilies out it ramped off again, this time smaller at 9lb 4oz.
Little happened over night, and after 1 liner, I was up at 7.30 landing a 15lb 4oz common on the TnM boilie rig on the spodded area!
Lunch time saw an 11lb 13oz common on the same rod (they love those TnM)
Just over an hour later the KD had nabbed me another Common at 16lb 4oz.
All went quiet and I continued to top the areas up! the last of my TnM went over the left rod, and more spombs over the middle area.
Half past midnight saw a screaming run and a 12lb 2oz common on the spodded area.... boilie rig again.
I had a good nights sleep, and when I got up Phill came over to check tickets and hear my stories as the same rod again went with a few beeps and a small run....... this time it was a gorgeous Mirror at 15lb 4oz!!!
I had some brekkie, packed up and went home happy - PB was destroyed and I'd had the session of my life!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well in sir, very good angling, that Poacher's T&M is just the best in my book been using it for a long time now with some great results. So a 25lber is your target now mate off you go lol
