Random fishy pics

I have not been out fishing for a while, but was recently looking through some photos and having a play around with them in photoshop and an app on my phone.

Holme grange open day

Image
I have not been to Holme grange in Crowthorne for about 12yrs. On my last visit it was just a hole in the ground with open banks and a mud car park. However all these years on and the lake looks to have come on leaps and bounds. There is more bank side vegetation now seperating swims, as well as a small tackle shop, tuck shop, and purpose built car park. The purpose for my visit was an open day, run by crowthorne angling and holme grange, also korum, preston innovations, sonubaits and avid carp were also in attendance. 0 All 4 of the companies are owned by one parent company but are different arms, sonubaits do the baits, korum the specialist side, preston the match side and avid the specimen carp guys. They had all their latest products and baits on show, korum also had some float rods set up for the youngsters to have a go at catching some fish. My kids and 2 nephews were enjoying fishing with maggots and waggler set ups, catching roach under the rod tips, under the wat...

Barons ponds - 23rd may 2013

Image
I went barons ponds for a float fishing session this week. I have neglected fishing this way the past few years due to my pursuit of Thames barbel, however my intention is to keep myself sane by having a few sessions with the feeder and float rods to catch a few in between my barbel fishing. I took a drive down to the lakes on the wedsnesday to have a look around as I hadnt been to the lakes in around a year. There were 3 people fishing so a quick chat to them revealed a few nice roach were being caught but not many carp. I walked around both lakes and saw plenty of fish moving about, and plenty of areas with fish bubbling up from routing around on the bottom. I sat in one swim for about 20mins and saw enough for me to give it a look the next day, plenty of fish bubbling up the bottom in several areas of the swim. On my arrival the following morning, Im glad to say the fish were still all over the swim, with more being up cruising around the surface than bubbling up the b...

2013 season review

Having a look back at what I have done through 2013 fishing wise, I realise I haven't done that much. I started the year very positive, new blog and facebook page, the promise of regular updates and regular sessions, and yet here we are in 2014 and the year has flown by!! I started the year replacing any used and tired bits of tackle, aswell as some newer gear to target a couple of local commercial lakes. A few sessions at my local MBK Leisures Barons pond had me catching some fish again, a rarity as I had spent the previous year solely on the River Thames after Barbel, so to go out and have some fun and get a few bite and some fish on the bank was good. I took the kids out maggotdrowning a couple of times, far less than the amount of times I wanted to get out with them, but weather and floods put pay to getting out more. I have found a couple of local lakes now where they can enjoy year round sport and one of them is free to fish :) I also had ago at making my own boilies, it...
