Blankety Blank And A PB

I managed five sessions this month, the first on a hot and humid afternoon on 6 August at Longford, a steady session slipping the landing net under two Carp around 2lb on Red Robin boilies. I lost several fish by not striking quickly enough.

A cloudy day with some light rain and a few sunny spells on 13 August; fishing red maggots resulted in my PB Carp, just shy of 8lb, followed by a Carp about 6lb, and some nice Roach, Bream and Perch, this time at Birch House Fisheries. A short, pleasant evening session on 16 August at Mill Dam saw me land a few nice Rudd.

On 18 August, I fished at Springwood for the afternoon, where I've fished many times, but on this occasion, although everyone else was catching, I wasn’t, and I didn’t manage to land anything. Still, it was a nice day!

Just to rub it in, my dry spell was still hovering over me ten days later at Mill Dam, where I’ve never blanked before, and you guessed it…I blanked!
