Having a little float fishing session today .I spent the morning catching what I could of the bottom . Mainly Bream with the odd Crucian but it switched off . So I had to adapt my fishing Eventually I found a method that was still getting a few bites and now I’m catching again . Having a few nice Chub and Roach Rudd fishing shallow.
Nice bit of practice for my first match at the weekend .

And finally the last from todays adventure.
After the 5 hour pretend match I spent 2.5 hours fishing on a 13ft traditional waggler rod . With 4lb mainline down to 3.6lb 12 inch hooklength with size 16 drennan wide gap hook. Fished slightly over depth with double red maggot being the bait of choice.
A totally different approach from this morning when I was on a window feeder and flatbed method feeders. And it yielded a good result.

This Tench has made my day he is Awsome, He is only around 4lb but pristine and and willing to display for the camera

So today was all about seeing how I would handle a five hour match. What decision I’d make , how I’d go about fishing the peg and what methods I’d us . Formulating a baiting plan and seeing it though. Being prepared to make the changes when and if needed.basically trying to do what a proper match angler would do.
I think it went ok, I completed the five hours of the pretend match.
I must of caught 50lb In weight split between two keepnets , maybe a little more.
I put Bronze Bream and 2 Tench in one net and the other was the Crucians. . I must say I really enjoyed the process

Just beautiful
