Bluemoon Angling Thread

[Didsbury Dave]

Weather changed to dull with very strong wind. Ideal conditions. Last couple of days we have been fishing the Alqueva Reservoir, the largest dam in Western Europe. Vast reservoir. Took us half a day to find a swim that looked propimising. Fed plenty of groundbait but had nothing until dusk came and we had two small catfish. Buggered off sharpish. Went back next day and finally found some fish, three carp between 8 and 13.5 lbs which is a good stamp for up here. My mate maintains he saw a probable 20+ so we'll be back there today. Best venue we've fished. No small ones by the looks of things.

Looks like proper wild fishing, NN. Keep us informed and tight lines

do yourself a favour, if you pop down to the canal in poynton my lures are hanging like baubles on a christmas tree :) on every tree, as a wise man said to me, expensive flashy lures are made to catch anglers not fish

i've not been able to get out much lately with one thing or another, whenever i dont get out i usually buy more lures instead :(

Thanks buddy !!!

Had a few more biggest just short of 15. I'll give a full report later but, sadly, my mum passed away last night. Feeling sad that I wasn't there to hold her hand as she passed.

Really sorry to hear that, NN. Some things are more important than fishing. All the best to you and your family.

90 peg winter league today on the Leeds Liverpool canal from Appley Bridge to Crooke , Wigan . Typical early winter , cold clear canal and a horrible day weather wise . Cold heavy rain and even some hailstone . Luckily caught 2 good bream around 2.5 lbs a piece and 40 small roach plus a bootlace eel for 7.9.12 and 4th place in the match and a few quid ! ;-)
