After being full of optimism I went to Sherwood with visions of Carp / Elastic / and a few bites...pulling up at the cabin at 7.20am that all changed....matches on every pond apart from Cavendish which already had Deckchairs on. Didnt fancy it.
Pulled off at 7.30am with Carp jumping all over sherwood lake. Was only going to be a short session so options then limited on the Match Disaster. Park Hall or home calling....tough call.
Setting up on peg 23(?) despite being sunny, the wind was howling through the lake with fairly decent waves as a result.....Bloke to my right landing a carp as i sat down......5 mins later bloke opposite same.
Feeder rod, 6lb line, drennan 25g cage feeder, hair rigged corn & pellet........an hour later....nothing....not a touch.....
Rodney and Del boy turn up to my right.....they erect umbrella and it goes in lake....Rodney falls in getting it back....deserved.
The tip goes around and a skimmer of maybe a pound comes in.....three more follow and a lost carp for my efforts....
Another two carp follow with a nice common of 4-5lb the highlight. Then bites dried up
Very Cold despite the Sun - T Shirt turned into Sweatshirt turned into Hoodie and Cap...
Three people around me caught quite a few while i was there Del Boy and Rodney were banging out a Boilie and catching three very easily.....the place baffles me....really does.

Butterley Burning
Not much to report.
Half hearted session.
Fished 9.30-12.30
One bream
Bright, still and hot.
No one catching.
One of those days.
Fish rolling two rod lengths out, so I fished about 30 rod lengths out!
Starting to agree with Nico - waggler the way forward.
Tested depth a good 10 feet a rod length out.
Ball in and sit it out.
Optimistic it has potential

PC and the Golden Orfe - 10th June 2010
never mind question mark over my 40 pound photo enclosed. not the best today, however mediocre session fished 9-3 flamming roach a pest again. but i did manage to get through to about 10 carp biggest only 2 and a half pounds. all though i did have a couple of bonus fish as you can see one golden orfe and a ghost carp. all fish falling to corn. my decision to fish trevor's for a change on the far side was not the best as it was very hard work although it's nice to fish a different lake. pegs six was chosen on the far side at 10 meters.

Deep Blue Sea
The setting was wonderful but the weather was too bright and warm.
Fished next to the hole in the viaduct. At distance ringers green, shellfish bollie - the usual routine.
Fished from 8.30am until 12.30. Nothing in the first hour as usual, then they came onto the feed. Very steady from then on and would have been a great session if I'd not fished like a monkey and some how broke two of my tips for the feeder £14.99 a pop!
Butterley fishing gods usually take their payment.
Ended up with 11 fish and lost 3 on the way in. No weed at all, fish rolling at my feet potentially tench. Non Members are now allowed to pike fish all year round. Looks like we have a potential match venue with a variety of species on offer.
Overall enjoyed it, wanted to stay longer but burning and needed food. In fact I was just about to head to the cafe van when he sped off. Just about sums it up.
No food, no coffee, radio battery flat, sun burnt and broken tips aside - Butterley is back at its best and the bream are a feeding!! All fish 3-4lb stamp so heading towards 40lb.
Could have been my best day at Butters if focused, weather etc on my side.
Roll on the next session. Nice to be back on the tip - if a little expensive!
