It was back in 2012 when i had a 'Red letter' day on the local lake next to the Scania Truck and Bus works where i worked . I forget the exact figure but i think it was 67 fish between 2lb and 4lb , all Bream , i did catch Roach but threw them and any small skimmers back so they would not get crushed . In this photograph i had soaked the grass with 3 bucket fulls of water and a bucket over the fish and kept the photo in the shade . As soon as it was taken they were lifted back into the water and no fatalities were reported.
So now in 2018 on my third time at Scania i fished it again with minimal equipment at my disposal . The day in question was very hot just like what has been happening all over Europe recently with this relentless heat.
Started on the exact same peg from years ago , how nostalgic ! Anyway the day proved fruitful with bites all day on dead reds and corn on a 1.5 SENSAS Abbieville on a 0.15/0.12 rig to SENSAS 3405 SIZE 14 . Used a Van den EYDE 2 kilo bag of 'BLACK TURBO' with a tin of hemp thrown in to keep it fizzing.
End of day (4 hours ) I had 14 Bream , several skimmers and 25 plus Roach to 1lb and a single perch on the Corn !!
Back at the apartment - 'I guess i got slimed'
