Went to scrunton with jim for a mornings roving, the tactics were one pike rod one barbel rod, jumped in each peg for between 15-30 mins, the first 5 pegs or so produced nothing, then found a nice bit of slack and 10 mins passed with nothing to twitched the bait and just as i was watching my chub rod tip the pike rod started bouncing, struck and had it on but it decided to come to the top and swirl on the top and ended up getting off :(
10 mins later as i was reeling in a pike grabbed the bait but i thought i was snagged so ended up pulling it out the pikes mouth..
Tried a few more pegs but nothing, river was up a fair bit and very coloured..
Thursday 10th Oct:
Headed to the Swale for a few hours roving, arrived in me first peg and had a run within 5 mins, unhooked it etc and let it go when I realised my fox bite indicator had dropped off on the other rod so struck that! Snagged argghhh managed to pull the snag out but seen the fish swim off, was only a small jack, cast both rods out again and had another run 15 mins later, got it right next to the net but managed to get off, again was only small about 5-6lb
Thought was gonna be a awesome day but once that wind got up was wild! And unfishable in place
Did head over to croft for a few hours but nothing,
Both rivers were carrying extra water and were both very coloured..
Only pike of the day: 5.14lb
Friday 18th Oct:
The tees was up and colored so thought i would try for an illusive tees barbel, so headed down a stretch there's been the odd few coming out of, go there for about 5 and fished til 10:30pm and nothing, few taps on the tip but that's about it... tried loads of baits slugs, pellets, cheese paste, corn but even the chub weren't having it...
be out next friday so have to see what happens then, been a disappointing month oct up to now, so lets hope nov is a better month ;)
