What a difference a day or two make.  Since my last trip out, the N/E wind has been blowing and the temperature has been down during the day and night.  This afternoon, the sun is shining and warming up the lake nicely and I have seen a couple of fish crash out on the back of the island.

Bit out of my range, however, a good sign that there are starting to move.

I had a good look round all the lakes and a chat to a couple of people.  The only fish which have come out this weekend, have been on the bottom section.  Unfortunately, there were still 4 anglers on the lake fishing and I don’t fancy the swims which were free.  Also, other parts of the complex were completely free of anglers. 

I finally settled for a swim, a small bay which was in full sun light all day and had been sheltered from the N/E wind.  It had a good depth of water, well for here anyway, 5ft.

Both rod’s had small bags with pop up rigs.  Cast 10ft off the islands to my right and left and the bottom of the margin shelve,  with 6 pouches off boilles over the top.

With the sun going down it was getting very cold.  I tucked myself up the the bag and watched the lake until I fell asleep.

I was woken up by a couple of beeps which turned out to be a coot. Joy.

Time for work

Till next time
