2024 - November 15th - Sodertalje canal

After watching Stefan in the week bagging on feeder i was greatly influenced to come down and se if i could emulate his rate of catching . It was noticeable that when he fished he had reached 68 fish in the first 90 minutes and when i watched and spoke with him for about 20 minutes he caught a further 10-12 more !!



The Fish whisperer 









So i decided to fish Friday as the weather forecast was considered reasonable with an abundance of sunshine and less cold . Early morning and i entered the bank at about 08:45 am.



Dam ! ...... it looks good as i prepared the kit sitting on the same place as Stefan earlier in the week







At the start i decided for a feeder approach like Stefan did in the week . I caught on first cast !! After that it became very patchy and only took another three in next 30 minutes which is very slow compared to Stefan's bagging .......ummm , i fluctuated between dead reds and small corn .

Later i tried 6m whip close in keeping both lines of attack fed with gb .










After 3.5 hours i had amassed only 42 fish , all roach , no skimmer and perch like Stefan had in the week . I caught mostly on small corn and had quite a few decent size roach.  
Unfortunately for me i found snags on the feeder  which i am unsure if Stefan had the same problem ? I also incurred snags on 6m whip and continuously brought up remnants of the summers weed like canadian type weed and Lilly plants stalks.

2024 - November 9th - Nyköping Bro

Another return to this water that can promise so much yet on another day can be failure !

Back to the usual place on the 'boards'




Two Herons keeping me company and possibly see more fish than me ?




2 x 6m whips with EXNER Lucifer 4gr floats 






I really hope it fishes well ?????







After a 3 hour failure when starting at first light i decided to take a walk after putting all the kit back into the car . I decided to view the possibility of fishing in the boat mooring area which is quite extensive.

Parking available





From the car park

2024 - November 3rd - Nyköping Bro

Not deterred by the previous Sundays dismal failure to catch (except one see-through Perch and a Bullhead) i decided to venture out again , was i to be rewarded ?

Started at about 08:30am and as predicted there was a lot of cloud and no rain 😀💧💧












Looking out from the boards area and the clouds were less and full sun was happening




The usual office place for me 




T6 with 10gr EXNER DELTA flat float 

T6 with 4gr EXNER ILIASZ 

6m whip with 3gr EXNER LUCIFER

MATRIX 13' HORIZON feeder rod





After 4 Ide on whip and pole i then took a large roach on whip !









After a first two hours of blanking and changing rigs to suit i then turned 90 degrees to my right and fished a semi slack .........the day was rescued !







Good local friend who gave me advise on the fishing
