Dirk took his shorter White Sox to Golden Pond on Thursday, and even managed to pair up his plimsolls. The Island was free so of there he trudged.
Puddle chuckers and mini Source boilies. Pads not up properly yet and the odd bubblers a way out which gave rise to a problem. I'd spooled up with 6 lb Sensor, tough as old boots but quite heavy which meant a strike at distance meant pulling it up a lot to get contact to hit the bite as it was as saggy as a witches tit. resulting in two missed bites and a brief contact then off. No matter. a very pleasant afternoon listening to the buzzards mewing and the greylags jostling for supremacy. Most of the goslings slip nicely down the gullet of ol'essox, indeed I cant recall any successful broods but some must make it I guess.
Hot enough for lunch outside yesterday.....enough mayo to make The Creative shudder.
Then back to the Island Paradise with link ledgers and bobbins, and though you don't gat the almost certainty of the self hook method feeder approach it it satisfying to hit the take as the bobbin lifts up, and as tighter to the bait the saggy tits Sensor lifts that bit quicker. Quick enough to take two bream and a rather battered (well healed) carp , all silt black mouth and recent hook marks. I never once felt out of control on the 1.25tc Advantas which I'd decided to use, rather than break down the method gear on the longer Korums. Nice action too.
It's prettier side
