Lumbland: Of mice and rats
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015/05/of-mice-and-rats.html
Friday, May 08, 2015. Of mice and rats. Whitethroats were active in the hawthorn, singing and flitting about. A song thrush perched on high and sang it's little heart out. A swan drifted gracefully by and picked up one of my baits. I wound that one in and whacked it out to deeper water. The tench, which are what I'm trying to catch, are continuing to play hard to get.I've heard of one or two being caught, and more being lost, but they're keeping well away from me. Maybe they'll wake up next week ...Back ...

Lumbland: Moving with the times
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015/03/moving-with-times.html
Thursday, March 26, 2015. Moving with the times. Two rods fished open end feeders filled with crumb and pellet mix with maggots on the size 20 hooks - a single maggot on one, two on the other. These were cast out to a marked spot. The third rod had the in-line feeder, and a small piece of fake corn as bait. This was chucked as far as I could get it and left to its own devices. Rod building of the last month. Should I get the tench rods out? When the light began to fade my hopes of a roach or two rose....

Lumbland: January 2015
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2015. The website frustration, which I just can't be bothered with trying to sort out right now, and my workload was driving me nuts and finally drove me out in an attempt to beat the oncoming foul weather yesterday. Back on the rod front I've fitted another Alps reel seat to a spinning rod for a customer. I have to confess that these Alps seats are exquisitely machined. Very nice if you like that sort of thing but no more practical than a bog standard Fuji seat. Once more I've bee...

Lumbland: April 2015
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. I could write about another failure of a tench session when fishing carp style with bags of pellets produced another hybrid (which looked very much like the one I caught last Thursday.) but there wouldn't be much to write about apart from hearing and seeing my first whitethroat of the year. Recent builds have included a set of three P-5s and an Axiom in brown, which combined with copper tipped chestnut whippings made for a really nice look. Friday, April 17, 2015. A fresh bait'...

Some of them I will take out tomorrow for a first plunge. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Autumn Blues with a few gems included. It’s tough out there, the last six weeks have been a bit up and down, but too much down to be honest! Following the 28th river double I had hoped to get a.

http://chesterpredators.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-rare-day-on-river.html
In pursuit of 'Esox Lucius'. Thursday, 6 February 2014. A Rare Day on the River. Days afloat on the river have been rare this season thanks to the constant rainfall which is ruining my season. The clock is ticking towards March 15th rapidly and i ask myself when will i get back on the river? Here are a few photos of an early season day afloat. Bungs in the background trolling nicely. This Heron caught more than me lol. Heading to the weir. Iconic scene in my beloved home city. View my complete profile.
