Time for a re-think

[John Care]

Agreed, three blanks is a regular thing for me to be honest. My Lower Severn record is 13, from a few seasons back.
Blanks are 'character building' though, apparently.

Went piking yesterday- same water
07.30 fishing
Not a bleep until 3pm then on the dot clipped out and missed the run
Recast immediately, another clip out another dropped run- great- that’s the feeding spell been and gone
Same rod about 4pm - another clip out but no run. Fortunately I don’t take risks and thumped it and hooked a decent one that had been sat on the bait - recipe for deep hooking but very lightly hooked through good bite indication and striking all runs quickly, even when you’re missing them
A change of bait size and hook positioning seemed to make a difference, assuming it was the same fish that had dropped earlier baits
More pieces of the puzzle to assemble and a blank would have been number 3 on the bounce but would still had a great day

About 25 blanks in a row for me on the lower Severn this season til I caught. Probably 20 of them I didn’t have so much as a roach fart on my bait my rod tips stayed that stationary. Gradually started getting knocks and million rig tweaks eventually landed me some fish

Its called fishing not catching, just three blanks , try ( i think it was winter 2017) on the dove not a bite from 1st week in november till 3rd week in feb, going 3 to 4 times a week,,,,,

Blimey Jim I admire your perseverance think I would have switched to the Trent after the first 2 weeks.

 

[Jim Ufton]

Blanked again tonight, thats 5 in a row, just part and parcel on the upper,,,

2 day sessions on the middle Trent last week for me.

No fish to report. First time I’d ever fished it - so not unexpected.

Could be worse you could be on a 2 year blank on the nene like me
