On The Ressie

I've been fishing the "large Suffolk stillwater" over the past month, with reasonable success. First proper session was with Wak Baines. We roach fished and caught a good few, with Wak having a couple of jack pike too. A good start.

At the moment the ressie is stuffed full of roach, most 4-8 oz, but plenty of bigger fish too. A few bream and the odd tench showing too. I managed to jam a nice tench of 6lb 15oz when float fishing for the roach. Fun on 2lb line. Real brute it was.

My first piking session resulted in a nice fish of 14lb, before I got hungry and cleared off early.

I did manage to get caught in the only rain we've had for three months.....

Last weekend Wak was back and after a late start we had four pike between us, plus a few missed and lost. Wak had the biggest, a corker just short of 14lb.

A lovely autumn day, lots of piss taking and a few fish, lovely.

To finish the day off, an old face from the past turned up. Mr Colin Abbott was totally unrecognisable, as I'm sure, we were to him ( point of order Mrs TT. Grammatically, is that sentence shite ? )  We had a good chat and he seems keen to join us next time. Good 'ol boy.

Sorry, bit of a boring write up. Bit lacking in inspiration. Must try harder next time.

Toodle pip.
