Canal Fishing With The Castermen
Hi all,
I have just spent a wonderful afternoon with Derek Kenyon A.K.A.
"The Casterman"
I was a little late to our meet and managed to miss most of the peg clearing Derek had carried out......Sorry pal 😆
But i did move a lot of the debris so we could fish which made me feel.a.little less guilty.
I promise to be on time in the future m8.
🙄
We both started of on Loaded Antennae Wagglers fishing the count down method using no 4 droppers but after two hours with various shot pattern changes we had one chewed maggot between us to show for it.
Derek made the descision to move while I carried on in the original swim.
After 30 mins in his new swim Derek let me know he has found the fish and that I should move up steam so we fish together.
By the time I set up Derek had caught 6 beautifully conditioned roach. I decided to opt for a new float one made in 2022, in green & one I made this year, stained but have not had the time to test either if them before today.
A carbon Stem, Shouldered, 6 No 4 Stick Float.
My set up for the stick float was a 15ft Drennan Ultralite.
An Abu 1044
3.6lb main line.
2.2lb bottom.
I missed the first few bites then connected with this fantasticly conditiond roach.....it was around 7 oz , not big by any means but proof Derek had found the fish once again.
Derek fished the ouside line for the last hour of light that we had and I the inside line as we were that close together.
I also had a dace and chub which I forgot to take pictures of.
Derek also had a decent Gudgeon...something new for both of us from here.....but alsa no pictures as it was now to dark !!!!!
We both also vowed to be back when its a little warmer and the fish are more active.
In the mean time I need to go and catch some tench with Salford Pete. 😁
TTFN.
