Back to Trosa for the last time before i embark on three weekends of fishing preparation and matches then i shall return after the expected shoals of fish migration into the system for some expected great sport.
Today i sat in my usual place on the board walk well to the right and next to the moored boat so as to avoid the anglers casting lures and spinners everywhere!!! . Just before that on my arrival i parked up and watched them as here were many early anglers and i could see right the way their heads were turning around looking at me as by now over the last few months they have seen my car and recognise as such that i fish there plus i communicate with the local bailiffs.
It was quite interesting that within 10 minutes 4-6 anglers on this side of the water decided to move on and i noticed one angler throw back fish (they were dead) . So was he embarrassed that he had caught too many ? OR he felt that i had been spying on him and his friends clearly had been taking quite a few ?
This visibility of people who show concern for fish and what amount of fish you can take is clearly starting to take an effect as later one of the main bailiffs ; 'Passi' (I hope i got the spelling correct ?) was on his rounds and also fishing a little . What i noticed straight the way that there was an acceptance that you must have fishing permission cards and from what i could see there was no refusals on the bank .
Admittedly, the fish were being badly treated as most (in fact all ) anglers had no floor mats to place the fish on so the fish they caught endured a good scraping on mostly concrete bank mixed with gravel . Care to take out treble hooks and singular lure hooks was not the best but at least the fish got back in the water , be it a little roughed-up !👎😑
My fishing on the day ;
I started on feeder and clearly the whole system was covered in fish as the tip never stopped twitching and i had so many line bites . I started with Big bread punch hoping these fish could start taking a visible bait but i had nothing in the first hour then i took a skimmer and a Ide in successive casts but then nothing so i changed to corn after feeding my pole line also. I then took a further 4 bream and 1 more Ide , biggest fish about 1.5 kilos the rest about a kilo and less . I further foul hooked two large Bream that came off with scales on the hook .
The sun really warmed the proceedings and by gone past midday the town was covered in walkers and tourists so its time to go home , me thinks .
Umm .........where is that large Bream i caught ?
Silly me , left it in the net , dohhhhh!
A female Bream where the rest had been Males
