Southill Park 1315-1730

Would have had an earlier start but met Mike lurking in the car park, much chatting followed :Wink:

Set up a very light quiver with a cone and ledger rig on a home made glass rod. The reel was my old Winfield Spinfisher and 4lb line:

These are the better looking ones of the eight who dropped by. The biggest was 15lb+ and the rest varied between doubles and singles........only one other angler caught a single fish :Hat:

Not long now before others start getting worked up about this etc.

As ever,........

Well done Mr Mole, another fine catch. :Hat: please don't take offence but you are a dead ringer for Mr Hargreaves.

Yes, it was thoroughly enjoyable having a chin wag Moley, OK the wagging went on a tad :oops: , and of course the pleasure of meeting the one and only, the leg-end himself......

First off, many thanks for the kind words everyone.

And to answer some of the questions raised:

The cone is a way of presenting pellet paste and single pellet Russ.....very effective on windy venues at this time of year :Wink:

Some of the carp in this Estate lake are very striking in their winter colours and are pretty.

Personally I believe I'm better looking........ :Chuckle:

It was thoroughly enjoyable.

Always good to finally meet up with someone after all this time.....look forward to seeing you on the lakes in the near future. The Leg-End was the only other to catch....one fish. And he was getting a bit lively at having a Fat Mole asking him to take yet another portrait :Hahaha:

He can get quite worked up when things don't work out as planned but perked up when a pint of Shed Head was waved under his proboscis, along with a bowl of chips :cheers:

As ever,......

Well done Moley - I presume those carp beat the local roach population to your bait every time :Hahaha:

Sadly Garry most of the decent silvers have all disappeared down a Cormorants gullet :Cry:

And to rub salt into wounds the roach had been getting bigger and an obvious target for a certain fatty :Wink:

Still on the bright side the Test gave up one of its more elusive 2lb+ red finned denizens to a pork pie eating Mole of ill repute last Tuesday :Hat:

Sadly the senile one lost his camera........... :Confused:

Still not bad as this winter season has produced two over the magic figure :Thumb:

Hurrah!

As ever,.........

Heartiest congratulations on another two-pounder, Moley. A nice habit to get into, catching large roach from the Test!
