Trouting about!!

Tiddler Bashing. . .

We all went out trouting! iv been out a few times chucking small lure and spinners out for these little critters, nothing serious but just a few hours out with Terry!

We did really well, loads off fish around half a pound to a pound smashing our RAPALA CD3's

cant believe how much fun these trout are when using Ultra light gear!! i used a GREYS G-light spin rod which only casts upto 6gms!! my rod was making alsorts of shapes thought i was going to snap it ha ha!! we only caught 12 brown trout but was worth every single one as it was a nice light change to throwing 4ounce plugs and shads around!! role on the next time we have some after work trouting about!!.....

Super Duper Shads

Weapon's of choice!

I have used sooooo many lures over the years and there is so many i can go back to which have all done me proud!! but...... if all else fails, you can do allot worse than crack out the RAPALA Super Shad Rap!! ill post allot on hear about various lure etc. but love or hate this lure its caught them all! every serious lure angler from weekend warrior to pro own's one of these lures, or all of the range if you have no sence like me! ha ha

Now this beauty is on the shelfs in floating and countdown, meaning we can exploit these masters of big fish catching lures to our best!! the colours are endless natural and wacky.... so dust it off and wack it on ya trace!! who knows that monster may show up and Super Shad rap is Deffo on the menu.......

Beast from the Gutter!!

A Nice surprise!!

well my good mate Terry told me of the Taunton canal was fishing well just after new year, so needing no arm twisting i jumped at the idea of fishing this very VERY shallow canal in the middle of the town!! god i wasnt ready for the state of the place!! shopping trolleys, prams, bikes...... it was a bit of a gutter ha ha BUT!! i could not believe the small jacks that happily terrorise these waters!!

I done some investigating for this water, and Knowing that this water held only small jack's (5-6lb being a monster!!) only took a light rod, and 101 baitcaster!! we caught jacks almost intsantly, lots of 1-2 jacks everywhere! BUT saw some good fish moving around with some 2-3lb perch which opened my eyes!! then Terry managed to sneak in a pike around 5lb behind my back, giving me that extra push to pull a right monster out!! (6lb ha ha)

Soooo i whipped out a secret weapon, a 7cm RAPALA countdown in Clown. . . i actually got this lure free from a "how to fish" Rapala vid aound 15years ago!! it is battered and broozed. we got to a really deep corner, which Terry said the week before that looked really fishy! i was minding my own business when Tezo said he had a chase by a tacker!! so i looked over while still reeling in my lure, when all of a sudden it went solid!! thinking i'd hooked a bike or shopping trolley i said a few chosen words!! then saw this monster of a pike charging off with my little plug wedged into its mouth! after about 5mins we netted the monster. i was comlpetely shocked as this water "only has tackers"

Ill leave you guys to enjoy the perfect end to a good day tacker bashing!!.......
