General
A week of dull, cold weather with fogs, cold winds, and at last Sunday we had some sun, water temperatures across lakes have dropped by at least half a degree, despite this there has been some cracking fishing on all lakes, fishing very well on tip with maggot, pellet, and corn across to islands. Waggler or pole into margins or try at bottom of second shelf at 3 metres out, or try 6 metres out try paste, pellet, worm cocktail and maggot. All species feeding very well and its easy to target species specific with correct methods and baits. Fish moving all around the lakes generally following favourable winds but not obviously E or N. .
