2024 - September 14th and 15th - Sodertalje canal

Another visit to this great venue was organised and firstly Ivan fished the Saturday and i fished the Sunday 

Saturday - Ivan's day 

Met him towards the end of his session as i delivered some products from the Metmask stable 

Ivan had plenty of indications as his tip was constantly moving 

A few Perch made an appearance 

He managed to snag a lone Bream with a well supported bag of silvers and odd Perch

Sunday - Phils day

I used the same peg as Ivan used on Saturday

      

What a beautiful stretch of water - i am so lucky to have this on my doorstep 

Small boat going by

Hopefully enough on the menu for the fish to bite

Feeder choice

Two MATRIX XF rods/reels with a bait up rod

No Bream for me except a few hand-size samples - approx 7 kilos 

2024 - Sodertalje canal - 1st September

Whilst Mick has been over here we have ventured out a lot and today is our 9th since he arrived and no surprise was our usual visit to the Sodertalje canal just 2 minutes from my abode.

Today Ivor has joined us and he wanted to get some practice in for the 'REEL ONLY' series we have planned in October and November. 

My place for the session and i had feeder rod and pole set up 

Well ! .....strange day really as it was 'Roach a plenty' with the odd pomme and perch . But Mick was the first to secure a Bream, be it a small skimmer of about 300gr. However after about half way through our session we started to connect more with good size skimmers and Bream. 

Ivor left us after 4 hours to get home early but he still had a good 6 kilo net of fish but was unlucky not to connect with any Bream .

Myself and Mick carried on and after 5.5 hours we had amassed 13 kilos for Mick and 12 kilos for me as we both secured 11 and 9 Bream respectively with lots of Dog Roach.

Great day really however the canal has not shown its real form this year but still good enough for some decent weights.

Dont forget we have our REEL ONLY series coming up on October 12th and 26th and November 9th. Where the use of Feeder and Slider are the only methods allowed.

Day before at the usual canal spot
