Cold Harbour

Last day of OK weather the Weather App told us so another trip to Ely today. I even beat the Loafer to 'the' peg. It  was absolutely freezing all day. I'd bought my new feeder rod, frozen some maggots and whizzed up a tin of corn for the groundbait. 

First cast rudd, and a get here What's App to the Loafer.  


Today was mostly rudd day in fact. I did get  a run of silver bream, roach and skimmers when the Loafer left and lassoed a bleak somehow earlier in the day but I could catch rudd like these all day long.





Loafer served up a cracking toastie on his Ridgemonkey and had some decent rudd too. Poor old bugger  looked colder than me.

  1. Surprised you noticed the cold catching Rudd like that. Not sure I know anywhere up here with rudd that size. They seem to get to a couple of inches then disappear.
