Weekend exploits

Alright fellas

Missed out on a weekend boat trip due to shortage of funds, so ended up lake fishing on Shearwater lake on the longleat estate in Wilshire.  Caught loads of fish, mainly bream and roach.  Most fish were caught on maggot or soft pellets, fed breadcrumb and sweetcorn over the top as loosefeed.  Couple of photos of the lake and one of the bream.  Probably ended up with 50lb + of fish by the end of the day.  Boat trip in two weeks....hope the weather is good.!!!

Adam the lake was rammed!!  Probably about 50 people there at least, all paying 8 quid a day.  It will be like that on weekends and in the week probably about half that amount of people.  Will get busier right through till october at least.  Serious CASH

Ya know what Roger? I actually miss catching bream (UK variety), roach, tench, chub, barbel.

I miss the cold frosty mornings down at the river bank.

I miss it, but I'd NEVER, EVER trade. I love it here.

I'm sure I'll catch a biggy oneday.
