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

It's been afew weeks since my last post , I've been busy with work as i have stepped up to a managerial postion.As for the fishing ....i;ve still managed to get two nights a week down on pit 6 and with my cousin from uo north down he planned to do the 48 with me.so first thing tuesday morning we loadded up the car and took rhe short trip down the A1 to the pits.As we got to pit6 the wind was smashing the A1 bank , it was a warm one and after afew head popped out infront of the the "little point " i was soon casting the marker out and settled for a spot at 70 yrds choddie and procreeded to put 20 spods out and cast two baits out on the money and the third was sent out with a white kipper pop op three rod lenghs off the baited spot . just two hours later the pop up rod was away an resulted in a fast battle to the net and the only fish of the session 26lb common,as the wind turn the fish followed.
As am running out of time now i will continue this post in the next few days.As i say am very busy with work at the moment ....jimmy
