Pit 6

With a new target in mind it was off  down the A1 to south muskham pits for my first session on pit 6. The fish rattling on my mind is a pair of commons that sit around the upper 30's bracket awesome looking pair.
 I met up with couple of guys who have fished the pit for afew year and picked there brains about the venue,after a chat and walk around to one corner where the wind was due to turn into.The area looked good and with a warm wind forecast the next day i decided to drop in that area.the marker went out found a clearish spot around 70rds and place 2 rods on it and spodded a mixture of seed and kipper boilers  over the the spot.

24 hr had past the wind had changed and was banging stright on it my swim,the fish started showing at about 150yrds  and slowly moved there way over the spots.Ben in the next swim had manged three doubles.I decide to put abit more bait out via the spod due to the amount of fish in the swim and over the baited area, The rods went back with freash baits and ahour later i got my first pick up.When i hit into it i felt afew  bumps and then dropped the fish too a hook pull ....gutterd.The night then set in and so did the wind.It was one hell of a windy night but just as i got my head down  the middle rod went into melt down ,waders on and it was down to the rods the fish didn't feel big but none the less i had to concentrate on landing this one ,a quick bettle and a scoop with the net reveiled a 14.9 common and first fish of the campagne.
14.9
25.2
As soon had i'd landed the first fish the left hander was away after getting a soaking  and blown all over the bank i land another common at 25.2 .With the moon up in the sky and shinning bright as day  i spodded out  anothe 5-8  kg of seeds and kipper as the spod land there were fish bashing out in the ring the spod was creating it looked pukka for another fish or two.
Just as light broke the left rod was off again and was rewarded with another double at 19.2.As the session came to a close i was well happy with me first 48hour on pit 6 and can't wait to get back on there and get my teeth into it ,hopefully soon I  will come across the big girls ut tight lines for now .

19.2
