I really felt confident last night, got my rigs(i thought) spot on, but unfortunately i blanked. Big pellets dissolved quicker than usual, may have had a nibbling hand from Mr Crayfish!
I fished simple running rigs to a 2.5oz bomb to a tail around 30". Size 10 Kodex hook(i like those) to 2 15mm trimmed down boilies(snowman style). Top one was a Source pop up, bottom a Monster Crab. I even critically balanced the rig with a no4 weight to 2" tail, perfect, or not!
Guy next to mehad a chub around 5lb but no barbel. Í didn't even have a run, just annoying bite alarm bleeps now n' then from bats flying into the line as they hunted for insects on the water .
Had a swan attack me as i was discreetly bobbed down in the bushes having a dump. Bloody great thing kept pecking my arm. Good job it didn't go for my knob!
Just packing up now so I'm home for the game. Not fished this stretch before and it's been many years since I night fished the Trent. Really enjoyed myself and am looking forward to getting down here again. I'm on the waiting list for the Fiskerton night syndicate so i may be lucky and het in next year, if not year after.
Better bring my rods in now before i leave. If you're out this weekend then tight lines guys: )
