Baiting Up Lake 2 Wick Water by Marcus 05.03.11

A bitter north easterly breeze slowed catches for some 05.03.11

Although a considerable amount of fish were lost in December and January when Lake 2 froze over at Wick Water South Cerney, fishing proper has resumed. Keen anglers braved the cold northerly wind on a grey weekend with some fine catches, notably several Pike up to 20lb were caught in Lake 23 by Gary Dodson, demonstrating he had the touch this weekend.

I spent a few minutes with Marcus while he caught a nice Mirror Carp in Lake 2 and demonstrated his bating up. It must have been cold as the maggots hardly wriggled.

Gloucester showed its support once again with a huge turn out to watch the Severn Bore.

Gloucester could rightfully be called ‘City Of Gloucester And Severn Bore’ as this natural event continues to draw great support. Certainly in my travels watching the event I have never seen so many people out watching as I did today. Even the low light and chill in the air failed to put people off, it certainly didn’t put off the surfing enthusiasts. A few surfers managed to catch the large swell just before the bridge for a nail biting ride on the wave and the rest looked up river with dashed hopes as the large swell made its way to Maisemore Weir.

I bet they come back in March though, so look forward to another brave display with the elements, going up river when it changes direction again, roll on March…
