Default Went fishing today ;-) (large pics)

This is the lake:


Here's the first beauty


Same one, landed By Tom


The first of 4 in total for me


And another


Spotted this whilst waiting for some bites, scared the shit out of me when i saw it, i was a bit lean at the time

Like a pair of arms comming out of a grave or something!

Was a good day, going back at the weekend for the big bastards

Well this place is private, but everyone uses it...but the wankers leave their rubbish and the banks are littered

What i was going to do was go to the council, find out who the owner was and write him a letter explaining that i would be willing to pick the litter up in exchange for free fishing there for me and my mates.

It shouldn't take longer than 2 hours with a couple of us to clear it up

I go to a small lake very similar looking about an acre in size. Plenty of carp round the 5 to 10 lb bracket.

Last week had 8 in 40 minutes out then got snapped, then another bite never seen the elastic on the pole go so far number 18 as well then the pole went snap

6oo hundred quid and the fooker snapped top section mind you so plenty of spares.

New section on and had 50 odd carp in a few hours mine and my uncles best day in a good year, with him catching a similar ammount

Yeah mate, we used to anchor up over a schol (sp) of fish and just chuck the rod's over the side, you'd have all 4 hooks full up in no time!

Dumb fish! Used to come home with crates of them!

There is no point to coarse fishing as the fish are inedible, I really can't imagine what makes anyone do it. Fly fishing is different 'cos the fish being mainly trout and salmon, you can eat what you catch.

There a bit small lol
and i agree with the other person about the unhooking mat.

also your landing net is not up to the job.
and also if the lake is private why are you fishing it, people pay good money to fish private lakes and people like you should respect that.

if i found any one other than members on the syndicate lake that i fish i would report them straight away. i pay 200quid a yeah to fish one lake

people like you give fisherman a bad name.

sorry mate!!!! but thats the truth!!

rant over

Its not that sort of private lake, no one is allowed to fish it, no memberships etc etc

As for the net, thats not ours, we had to borrow that of someone who was also there cos someone left ours in the bloody car

Isn't it enoughb that i will offer to clean up ALL the rubbish from it? I mean i'm not exactly taking the piss am i, like most do

p.s Kev, nice fish mate, 10lbs?
