Also, I dropped it in the water and it still worked after drying off a bit, not sure if this is a feature but I was happy with that.

The thing that I keep thinking about with all this rain is the pollutants washed into the river systems from farmland that has been sprayed with pesticide.

I have still been catching fish, but not to normal size or quantities... I guess I am looking for excuses for my poor form.

It will be interesting to see how well the rivers fish in the new season.

Would be interested to know if anyone else is struggling...

Here are a couple of interesting articles on pollution:

I have heard a bit of watercraft that says you should fish the spot where the wind blows to, so on the weekend I pick my spot and I am sat there with the cold wind in my face and whatching fish topping in the Middle.

My best results on this lake have come on the pole catching Rudd and Roach and my pole is not long enough to get to the middle. So what do I do. This is the good bit... honest.

I catapaulted a load of dog biscuits out to the middle and the wind gradually blew them towards me with the fish following right into my swim. I was able to keep them feeding there with regular ground bait and loose feed. Catching much more than I would have done on the feeder lobbed out.

Thanks, dog buscuits!

PS. I finished the day on the other side of the lake to warm up and didn't have 1 bite.

Very strong and very sharp.

I got some at a good price from here... QuickStrike

I have investigated further and found some Kamasan hooks that are bloody marvellous.

I must have had some bad stock...


Roach fishing, there is a whisker barbed hook that is awsome. Click Here


Very active lake, hardly missed a bite with this hook.

Cheers,

Steve.

Pike Plug

In the summer this plug would mainly get jacks but I rekon you could retrive this well enough to attract a big mumma at this time of year.

Happy fishing

Steve.
