2023 - 7th May - Nykoping practice

A days practice for the worst Feeder angler in Sweden , me ! . I decided to be there early and arrived about 07:00 am and i was set up by 08:00am with three feeder rods . I chose the car park length as Mats Larsson had enjoyed a good catch there some three weeks earlier .

The morning was bright with the air still but a heavy frost had descended upon us .......... how will it fish ?

I measured up at 42 turns and started only to lose a leader after 10 minutes ........dam ! I reconnected up and proceeded to fish a little towards the left where i got snagged . After an hour the first fish was a Roach on the small side followed by a Ide about 700gr then next cast a small skimmer .....then quiet for 30 minutes ? I then measured to 33 turns and got 2 skimmers and a Ide but then quiet again so i went back to 42 turns and caught rather well for the next hour with good size Bream and Ide plus a Rudd of about 1.2 kilo , i think ?

Not satisfied with this i set up a rod on 25 turns and proebaited it 4 times and left it for 30 minutes . After continuing at 42 turns but fish catch was limited due the the wind really blowing so accuracy became a little difficult . I then went on the 25 turns and as i poured a coffee out the tip went round and the biggest bream of the day was on ! Followed by even more till 15:00pm .

Great day was had and this part of the match length is so exciting . Its only about 1-1.5m deep but it is a shingle bottom as my feeder came back with small stones a few times . You can get a platform or box out at least 6-10 metres no problem and this match length looks comfortable for at leats 16 people .



Cold start and no wind 




What a view













The wind started to blow left to right , as usual 





View to the left where the usual match length is 





To the right looking towards the boat station





I had two Rudd like this - 2 pounders !!






Time to view the fish 













.
I did contemplate placing the fish in three buckets but i dont think that would be a good idea as too much stress for the fish so decided to empty . Estimate was 30-35 plus Bream , 7 Ide , 2 Rudd and about 10 smaller roach and skimmer ........i reckon 35 plus kilos approx
