first time fishing a lake

Well I thought I would start a blog as i tend to fish at least once a week! Not going to be anywhere near up to scratch as other blogs on here but oh well!

 

Managed to get a short session in after work (3:15pm to 5:30) for some reason decided to fish a lake rather than the canal as it was closer to my car (in the thatcham lakes.

 

Having never fished a lake before I used the same tactics i was planning for the canal (open ended feeder with a plug of dynamite black groundbait at either end with a maggot filling and a double red maggot on a size 18) and fished close in to an overhanging tree. After an hour with no bites even with a constant trickle of maggots and groundbait catapulted to the area of the feeder i switched to paste pellet...still nothing, for the last half hour i tried a float drifting across with the wind, still nothing :( so another blank to add to an unsuccesful year so far!

 

not a very exciting first blog but we have to start somewhere!

Thanks, Viney - I look forward to reading your blog. It's amazing that 4 of us locally have decided to do a blog, but no-one else in the rest of britain! Best of luck for your next session! John

Yep I too look forward to reading how you get on Viney. I started mine so that I could look back and see how things improved as I became more familiar with NAA waters, at least that's the theory.

 

Don't get too fed up with Speen if things don't go well immediately, this Winter's been colder than I remember for a while and better anglers than us have failed to find the decent Chub at that venue.
