General

In to Autumn Fishing conditions so scale down as water temperatures now at 9 deg

Some great catches still achievable, on the hook use maggot is doing great, pellet and meat, worm also and caster doing well. If after skimmers you need to still keep the feed going in or else they will move off, some of the larger bream have spawning tubercles and just finishing yet another spawning strange I would presume this phenomenon is due to the excessive dark and rainy past 4 months well that is my theory.

Bowes

Some good calibre carp who are in dark golden winter colours have been caught up to large doubles again on smaller hook sizes and maggot, also worm cocktails, pellet also working .

Bassetts

proving very productive and is very sheltered in windy conditions.

Lookout  

In the match Crucians, tench, good rudd and roach, ide, and skimmers growing well averaging 14oz and turning golden ,all being caught also some stunning golden orfe and koi, and ghosties also some good bream, Carp of excellent calibre also being taken average 3lb to  4lb per fish

Coaching continues on Saturday and Sunday mornings great to help get into winter fishing conditions.
