A NEW YEAR, THE FIRST SESSION

Before I begin our latest blog may I wish all of you reading this a very happy new year


Well what a difference Seven days makes,  From breaking Ice to a lake full of liquid myself ( Matt ) and            ( Marc ) are bankside once again for another day session and our first of 2015


A misty morning greeted us both early doors with temperatures reaching Just Five degrees 

A MISTY START

We've both agreed to target the smaller lake again today and set up In the same swims again which we fished In last week, We are the only anglers present so If we opt for a move during the day? we have the pick of the swims



A single hook bait presented on a naked chod rig and a snowman rig are mine ( Matt's ) chosen presentations for the day ahead, ( Marc ) has also gone for a snowman but decided on a zig rig fished at 2ft on his right hand rod

RODS OUT

By lunchtime the air temperature had risen Into double figures but sadly the action was quiet, I ( Matt ) had received a couple of single bleeps which could of possibly been from silver fish? and If I'm being honest with you I was getting Itchy feet, I left ( Marc ) manning the rods whilst I went for a look over on the larger lake


On my return I told ( Marc ) I had decided on a move and ( Marc ) agreed that was a good Idea and decided to Join me, Thirty minutes later we were both angling once again In the same swims we did well In Two weeks ago, The rods hadn't been back out In the pond longer than Ten minutes when all hell let loose with us putting Three carp on the bank between us


This was mine ( Matt's ) second of the session which went on to be our biggest capture

THE BIGGEST OF THE SESSION

You may only get a short feeding spell during winter sessions? So without further a do ( Marc ) re baited and got the rods back out on their spots

SPOT ON

I'm pleased to say the action continued and this lovely Common fell to a single hookbait presented on a naked chod rig 

CHOD RIG COMMON

The action continued right up until dusk and ( Marc ) rounded off the first session of 2015 with this lovely ghost koi a really clean fish In great condition

GHOSTIE
