Stomping Grapes


Dec 24 (+0.8m) - Blank
Dec 26 (+1.2m) - Pike 18lb 10oz
Dec 28 (+1.7m) - Blank
Dec 30 (+2.1m) - Blank (barbel blank-saver)

The Wye isn't too flooded to stop me trying - but too high and unsettled to stop me catching pike. Even chucking out a barbel rod alongside the pike gear isn't helping much!

Some days you get to drink the wine,
Some days you've got to stomp the grapes.

    1. Got to be in it to win it - you never know if that float will hammer under despite the conditions - I live in hope!

      And tight lines to you - I’m watching your Pike Challenge with great interest - good luck

    2. Yes, the Wye is a force to be reckoned with in full motion!

  3. There's much grumbling about the performance of the Wye of late Brian, it would seem to be quite out of sorts.

    There you go, a nailed on excuse for you. Happy new year.

    1. Yeah, heard a lot about the chicken farms, pollution and destruction of the weedbeds - think I’ll do a future blog post about it - but for now it’s as good an excuse as any! Happy New Year.

    1. Far better than sitting at home - you never know what the next run will bring!
