Perch & Pike Fishing – River Medway Nov 09
Well low and behold i managed it! Back out on the bank today and damn it felt good….!
After the rain yesterday which absolutely chucked it down i wasn’t too sure how good it would be but conditions looked perfect for a decent day out. I arrived at 6:30am and silver fish were moving as normal, but none of the anticipated pike action to be seen anywhere… baits were cast around the swim but still no signs and no takes. Very perculiar for this area that i was fishing…!
A move was made after a few hours and i managed to lose what felt like a good double! Gutted! Moved to smaller baits for the perch under a 5ssg loafer float and let it drift around, after two minutes whop the float was under and i was in at last… unfortunately again a lost fish. Re-cast to the same and the stripey fancied another go, damn it hit the bait hard! Thankfully this one was landed and was around a pound. Very happy!!! Shortly after another 2 were taken to around the same size. Then the swim went dead.
I returned home a happy man, as although id have loved to stay longer i just didn’t have time. Still atleast i know where some of those stripeys are hiding for tomorrow and maybe monday as well! I cannot wait to get back down there to see if any biggies are about!
