Club FAW Admin Anthony George Ron Potton NEEDED to do a 24 hr the Saturday before he started his new job on Monday
So he gave one of our club members Liam Walsh a text on the Thursday asking if he fancied a 24 hr session somewhere new but local ...
So as they searched google and stumbled across an unknown water to them called "Seven Oaks" fishery in Pontyclun and having never fished it before they gave a quick call to see what the crack was and cost for a 24 ...
They then told them that only half of the lake was available to fish as knocking 2 into 1 so they went to the unknown venue with some sticky krill 15 mm and some of Rons very own home made boilies. They get there and the place looked a bit strange, just like being in the woods, totally pitch black by night....
The pegs chosen were pretty close in so the art of casting came into play , just fishing at catapult range so baiting up was no problem with fish fizzing around they decided on a basic bottom on 1 rod and chod pop up on the other.
As they got settled in, baited up and we think time for a nice brew , as they started to drink their brews off goes Liams alarm and he pulls in a nice 5 lb 6 oz common small but a fish on a new venue he was buzzing then came another shortly after so he was 2-0 up on Ron. Then not long after Rons left rod shoots off and he manages to pull in a 5 lb common as time was getting on they set up for the night and baited up the swim etc, then Liam manages another and pulls in a 6 lb 5 oz common and around 1 am Ron had another at 5 lb 5 oz so they decided to have a kip and bring rods in as it was chucking it down They woke up around 7.30 am, baited up had a couple runs lost 1 each to hook pulls.
Sounds Like you had a great time lads, keep it up , good skills. Well done Liam and Ron , keep them coming
