Thursday 03/08/2023 - Over 55's and Short Walks - Hunstrete - Bridge Pool

Due to booking error we were back on Bridge Pool which disappointed most, especially as it never fishes well after rain which we've had over the past few days. My research leads me to believe the cause may well be due to Eutrophication. Worth BAA discussing the possiblity with the EA. 

Into the draw bag and out comes peg 1. Happy with this as always done well from it with both silvers and carp.

Started short and for the first 30 minutes put 4 lb of silvers in the net until landing a F1 killing the silvers line for the rest of the match. Couldn't get a bite anywhere from silvers. Having spent too long chasing silvers had a walk, returning spent the rest of the match fishing long for F1's, landing 7, losing 3 foulers and lost 2 big carp both foul hooked, one making a large bow wave which nearly drowned Tony Rixon who had arrived in his replacement black van complete with a ladder - rumour has it he's starting a window cleaning round.

Weighed 15 lb 8 oz.

Lots of poor overall weights again today which wasn't unexpected. Kev Winstone (pictured) won the match with 29 lb made up of mostly 2 decent carp.

Back to the Compton for a beer, unusually this summer alfresco.
