All the gear & No idea...but **PB RUDD**

Pretty tough conditions. Trying a few different methods to catch a monster pike but nothing today. One last day to get one. Tried float fishing in the boatyard and caught a massive Rudd and my new pb...didn’t weigh it but say it was 2lbs. (Hoping for a miracle tomorrow but if not...was great to catch a small pike in testing conditions

Return to Norfolk 

A tough start to the trip. Tried the likely spots from the boat but no success.
Finally managed to catch a small (but very welcome) pike.
Actually quite a miracle to catch this...after a monster but even catching the small ones proving to be really difficult at the moment. But I’m up for the challenge and the week ain’t over yet...

A very welcome pike

Norfolk Round-up **PB Bream**

Had a great week in Potter Heigham - Norfolk on the River Thurne. Tried all week to catch a pike but no joy this trip. Caught some great perch and managed to catch a huge bream and my personal best (6lbs guesstimate). Was brilliant to take our new boat 'Bridie' out too. Will hopefully catch some big pike aboard the boat soon enough.

A quick spin at Dedham...

Spent the day at Dedham on the river Stour. A new venue. Travelled with a tiny telescopic rod and cast spinners in between the heavy hire boat traffic. Managed to catch one small perch (with my niece). Will be back here having scoped out a few potential spots.

Nephews Assemble

Had a quick session at the local lake with the nephews. We all caught a few carp and a couple of roach/rudd each. Not so lucky with the weather...but great to get catching again!

Reservoir Pikes

Got very lucky at the reservoir today. A cancellation meant that a boat was available so we nabbed it. Managed to catch 4...one close to double figures (may have even been 10lbs). Brilliant to be back afloat and even better to be amongst the pike again.

Dad's 65th

For my Dad's birthday we had a superb day out at Chigboro Fisheries learning to FlyFish. Our expert tutor Nigel Angus gave us great advice and his overall knowledge of the trouts behaviour and environment (including all forms of flies and insects) was superb. We both caught a couple...and lost a couple...but was an amazing day out at a fantastic venue.
