Last week was pretty quiet and I only ventured onto the bank a couple of times for some quick short sessions.
The first was last Friday evening for a few hours on the canal near the Blue Lias, bites were scarce until the lights switched off and then I only had the one take. It didn't half pull back and when I switched on the headlamp I was most impressed to see a Zed slide over the cord and into the net.
The next session was near Tusses on Saturday afternoon/evening, I fished into darkness again but the only fish of the session came on the second cast having missed a take on the first cast only a few seconds before. It was a perfect evening, still, calm, with a big bright moon lighting everything up, it was very comfortable to fish, the only thing lacking was a few more bites.
Things might be a bit quiet with this blog over the next few weeks as I've just got the keys for the new house and I have a new rod room/tackle den to decorate and move into.
Stunning zander. Biggest I've seen come out of the canal. Did you weigh it?
