Season 2004
21st
May 2004. Loch Nan Geadas.
 Fist
time out this year headed down to Loch Nan Geadas weather was sun spells
with rain and hale. Got into my first run just after 5am nice 8 pounder
nice fish to start the day of and then i had 7 further pike after that
that weighed 8 lb, 8 lb, 16 lb, 5 lb, 13 lb, 13 lb, 9 lb, missed a few and
lost a few so overall a wonderful day out for me but Gary never had much
luck at all with lots of run but just couldn't hook them better luck next
time bud. |

2nd August 2003. Loch Nan Geadas.
| Went to Loch Nan Geadas with my son, daughter, nephew, mum and dad, just for 3 to 4
hours fishing conditions wasn't very good blowing a gale and heavy showers
didn't help much when casting into it. we had nothing for the first few hours of the morning then
I got a run at about 11:30 am on the mackerel tail deadbait a good hard fight from the fish came
clear out of the water looked a good sized one, then it got into the weeds which made it tougher
to take in but less struggle on the fish didn't fight as much, got it onto the
bank a nice clean looking fish of 11.½ lb nice start since I haven't been out for 4 months but that was it for the day. |

12th April 2002. Loch Nan Geadas.
| Fished at Loch Ceo Glais it
was cold and frosty first thing in morning and we fished until 11am
spinner rod going with a perch Big S after a few casts had a pike on
but got off then i tried a homemade jerk lure tried that another hit but
got off so gave up on the spinning. Few hours later into my first run and
not even a bite so we decided to head to Loch Nan Geadas got the baits
casted out and i had the and line broke and a second run line broke again
so me and Gary never caught anything that day, but Ian did a few missed
runs then he was into a pike weighed in at 10.¾ lb and a 5 lb pike so the
day wasn't a disaster after all. |
