I am out for a two night session over the weekend, which is unusual for me.  I had the unfortunate luck with the traffic and arrived just on dark.  This was OK, as luckily for me a friend of mine was already at the lake.  He was able to tell me which swims where free and where he had seen fish and after some discussions over the phone.  I had made my swim choice before I had arrived – a little bit out of the norm.  However, a very useful tool,  when needed and as I knew this swim quiet well and had them it all marked out in my book,  setting up was very straight forward.

All rods were pop ups, due to the weed and all had bags on with broken up Poloni boilies.  As I had made notes, I was also able to spomb out a loaded of Bait-Tech’s pellets and groundbait mix with a good load of Krill & Tuna Oil that had been soaking for some time.

Night & Day One

The night passed with no other action than a tufty at about 6am, nice way start to the day.  The wind had changed as per the weather man’s report, and was now pushing hard onto this back, unfortunately, it was going to be a hot one today.

All rod’s where re-baited around 1400 hrs, with no change to the tac-ticks (I had seen a few fish show during the morning).

Night & Day Two

With no action in the dark hours, I was very happy when at around 6 am, the middle rod was off.  It was attached to a small common that proceeded to drop off at the net, after I had managed to get it through a small set of pads two my left.  Oh well.  I changed the hook and put the bait back on the spot and put the kettle on.  I sat back and watched the lake.

Flat calm, great for spotting fish.

Unfortunately, by packing up time I still had not seen or had any more fish.

Till next time
