11 hrs drive each way but worth it for some great fishing and time on the water.
Spent the Tuesday setting up and shopping for snacks/bait and tackle. Then it was on the water at 12 ish for a run downriver to find a fishing spot on the bank - we were feeder fishing so needed a steady base to see the bites!
We were using a 55lb thrust trolling motor, not really up to the job 1 up + tackle and a huge 115ah battery but it got us there and back
That was removed and the Tohatsu 5hp fitted! left the 15 at home as the max speed on the river is 5,ph anyway.Wednesday we travelled up to Coltishall fishing next to the Rising Sun Pub before heading back to Wroxham.
Thursday was a run down to Horning, after lunch and a Pint we headed back stopping to bag some fish from the bank - 85 fish between us in 3hrs
We also spent some time most days wetting a line in the marina at the back of the house.
Packed the boat away Thurs evening so we had lots of time to have a proper try for some pike by the rail bridge in town. We both had a bite at the same time - Danny was watching my rod when the alarm sounded, he only just noticed his rod trying to enter the water from the corner of his eye! I lost my fish but Danny landed his new PB Pike of 10lb. I lost another fish when a kinked wire trace snapped but a while later landed a new PB Pike of 20lb plus, no pics on the bank but Danny caught some video of the fish on the surface, it was long and very fat, it bent the alloy shaft of Danny's net, got it to the bank where it flipped out, off the hook and back in the water, only claiming 20 but sure it was bigger.
Anyway here is a link to the vid on you tube. Wish I had taken more video but sometimes you just have to look around and take it all in.
