I went for a spot of dropshotting on the canal, second time trying this method.

Caught a small perch; I think I will give this a few more goes, because its active and fun

[RedStripe]

Quick drop shot session on the canal resulted in a tiny perch

Then this little fella came along, quite pleased as it's the first (jack) pike I've caught.

First time fishing for carp on the float for me, all tiny fish, 18 = 35lbs

Great fun and nice of my mate to take me there.

You playing 2 rods there?

Lovely babies….

[RedStripe]

Thanks Giles.

Looks like I have a ghost rod as backup, but just the crappy hdr on my phone cam

Yesterday, nice and overcast, spinning on the canal for perch.
Ended up with 2 small perch and 3 tiny pike.
Good fun though, roll on the 16th

Was just going through some photo's and thought I would share some of the better fish I have caught the last few times I've been out.

The first one is a West Australian dhufish. Excellent eating and was caught off the Abrolhos Islands about 30 nm from my hometown.

The second one is a Red Emperor. Again excellent eating and fighting fish. This was caught out from Coral Bay in north west Australia whilst on holiday earlier this month. Amazing part of the world if you ever get a chance to visit!

Ultra light shallow lure yesterday.

Note the cormorant dent

[RedStripe]

my search for big perch on the canal during close season ended up in loads of tiny pike, the biggest being just over a pound.

back on the river after barbel on the 16th, blanked for 4 hour in the morning an four hours at night

lovely to be on moving water though

[RedStripe]

2.5 hours evening session on the weir  - sub 2lb barbel 

[RedStripe]

Amazing day on Blagdon lake yesterday. 0400 start. Many tight lines and snap offs.

[Giles]

That'll do!

Had a lovely brownie too but couldn't bring myself to smash its brain in.
