fishing at Les Webbers lake

sorted chaps, trevor is getting keith and I'm getting ed from his home
rendezvous in the layby folks, unless you're martin or pauly 2 cups, in which case follow the red honda

jim, dont forget the doughnuts :face:

was gonna pick up a couple of dozen and some milk on the way

wot a good day I and many others had today, OK, the big ums were on strike, and refused to play ball, but the pike had a good day entertaining the children, I had a 25Ib(ish), on the end of my 2 1/2Ib hook length, for 3mins, until he/she bit though it, and took my record breaking 4Ib roach with it, never mind, one can only dream, thank you Les for letting us use your very nice place for the day

Had a thoroughly enjoyable day, thank you Jim for the lift and Les for the lake.

Caught a few baby roach and one bigger one, learned a lot, thanks for the help Jim and Willie.

Please upload the photo of your new PB Tench Chris - hope I didn't mess up on the photography!

Good to see everyone today and a big thank you to Les for allowing us to fish his wonderful lake.
Here are some pictures of the day.

a fab man, let us use his fab lake, and we had a fab time

the carp didnt play ball due to the youngsters running the banks, but boy did the youngsters have fun and catch plenty of silvers, with the added excitement of watching a pike sitting in the swim waiting for its dinner to be delivered, it didn't go hungry as it took plenty of the youngsters fish, leroy decided to catch it, which proved the easiest feat of the day, and it took ages to recover thoroughly before sulking nearby

best fish of the day went to chris, 6 12oz tench on paste, the pawn broker pellet rig failed miserably, but his home made bread pudding went home with les to be enjoyed with custard that evening, I think chris's benchmark bread pudding will take some beating

trevor managed to wind in a carp scale, [size of your middle finger nail] after a right old tussle and hook pull on his silverfish gear

so to sum up, the weather was pukka for catching, the environment delightful, but the fish didn't like the disturbance
solution another visit, well maybe two, one with youngsters and one without

a mahoosive thanks to all that attended for upholding the TAC standards, and guranteeing a repeat visit
martin for the pukka pics, and especially the youngsters, many of whom were left to their own devices for most of the day, only needing us oldies for tangles etc

thank you les for a great day.
good fishing lovely place and good company..
