Don't grumble about Drumble!

Fished Drumble today. Shades and shirts for both anglers. Magnum still coming up short but snagging the best fish of the day - 2x4lb carp and 2 x 2.5lb tench plus roach skimmers etc - but no chub. Nicholls bagged mainly on chub, odd tench and roach. Fish have grown. Chub many are 1lb plus. Nice relaxing session on feeder. Maggot, worm and caster. Steady flow of fish throughout and rain avoided in rapid pack up at the end.

Nearly a duck on Mallard

Crazy last throw of the dice as the dynamic duo headed over to Spring Lea. Rain looked the order of the day and the temperature plummeted. So Orfe was the obvious choice. No Mallard after previous fruitless attempts we went for it again. Anyway Nico and Magnum messed about on the pole, the sun came out, Nicholls cast a feeder into the sun and Mangnum sulked off home after catching the smallest fish in Mallard one after the other. Nicos blushes spared by a late carp in the margins only after it nearly jumped out and kissed his feet in surrender. Nicholls dominated throughout with skimmers and carp on feeder.
