Diary of an average angler

Who favours traditional methods & baits

fisherman

This diary dates back to a holiday in 2003 when I think the urge to get back into fishing took off. From around 2007 the trips became more frequent with 2010/11 probably being the peak of activity.
Things again pick up in 2020 - a sort of rebirth!

Market Drayton (2)

Second evening and I fished the second swim on the far bank having seen a local there earlier in the day.

I again fished through the reeds but there was more open water, although still shallow at about a foot deep. There were lily pads about 20ft to the right.

I missed quite a lot of bites so tried a lift-method approach with a shot close to the hook.

Landed three bream, two of which were of similar size. I weighed one at 1lb 12oz.

Weather again warm and still.
