Farmoor 2 - 21/09/08

Exactly a week and a year since the 'second day of the daddies', organised by Complete Fisher Forum, myself and Marco had a great day with all sorts of tactics working well. Followed by a great steak and spaghetti meal at the Capri in Shepheards Bush....

We set of from the pontoon and the mortor cut out, so we decided to do a short drift nearby, the wind all day varied in direction, but it started of with a flat calm and warm sunshine. On my second cast with a single CDC cast to a fish near the bank by the poonton was in to my first fish.
Marco struggled for about an hour and finally caught his first fish before he got to despondant, and then a further 2 quickly followed, he was using a red and white booby.

The fish were free rising thoughout the day and we caught well all over the place. We found bigger fish towards the middle drifting towards #4 buoy. We both had violent snatches that snapped us off before you could do anything. I eventually hooked one of the fish, just over 3.5 lbs (biggest of the day) on a picric blob fished with a booby on a Di7.

We fished from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and had a great day. All the fish were stuffed full of little #16 black buzzers apart from the biggie which looked like it had been on grazing on seagull shit!
