Worse weather Wednesdays !

 

Why is it that whenever i have a Wednesday off, the weather always changes?. They did a study once and found on average Wednesdays were more likely to be the worst day of the week weather wise, something to do with people not working Saturdays and Sunday , the earths temp slowly decreases  and by Wednesday it is lower, just my luck this is the only day the  wife does not work , so i usually book it off, have a day fishing , no need to rush back.

Any way yesterday was one of those bad weather Wednesdays. It started ok ,but as always as i was setting up it began to rain and by the time my rig hit the water it was pissing it down and blowing a gale . The brolly went up for the first time this year, i hate fishing under brollys .

I was on the bird nest peg , i have always fancied this peg but have never fished it before, it is always out of bounds due to , birds nesting in the tree that hangs in the water.

I potted some ground bait laced with pellet at 8 metres, left this line to settle and fished 5 metres with red maggot dusted in atomic cloud  strawberry red. The fishing was slow , when it rains here combined with a temperature drop its always the same. Anyway the Roach line was slow but i could see the fish taking the free offerings but not the one with the hook , so frustrating. It was time to concentrate on the Bream line. I fished with pellet on the hook over Silver x Bream ground bait, which is a deep red and my hands looked like i had been in a slaughter house, thankfully most of it washed off. Anyway i had 4 Bream on this line and funnily some nice Roach too 6mm pellet.

My final weight was 11lb 8oz and John fishing waggler weighed 11lb 13oz, yet again a great performance on the wag.
