General

Swim feeders, Pellet wagglers, waggler, bomb and pole have been methods to catch this week, with some days catch rates have been very high and then when the rains came in torrents it switched the fish of as the rain dropped water temperature down 2 degrees, when the temperature rose again so did catch rates.

Every species is feeding up well with the shorter day light hours, it is important to get the feed patterns correct and the method of fishing to get good catch rates. Feeding a second and third swim so you have different areas to target fish have worked well, feeding up in the water for Rudd has produced some excellent catches. Margins up in the water both by peg and of far bank catching well and just of the second shelf dead bottom also doing well.

 

Lookout

Some cracking catches with Luke Bruce catching over 100 carp plus many may silvers in a seven-hour session all carp averaged 5lb all caught on Angel 10mm expander pellets.

Best baits, Hook: – 10mm angel pellet banded, worm, caster, maggot (multiples), paste, soft pellets, and cubes of luncheon meat.

Get feed patterns correct little and often very often.

 

Bowes

Make sure your tackle and end tackle are suitable for this lake, minimum 8 lb line and 6lb hook length and at least a 16 elastic, Be warned this week the carp are full of fight and several anglers have been ragged or snapped of, even having the pole or rod pulled out of your hands!!!! The fish are feeding well especially when the water temperature came up after all the rain, best carp weighed in was a mirror of 25lb 6oz and best Bream was 11lb 7oz, however tench, rudd, roach, ide, Orfe, crucians, and carp all feeding well and catching well.

Best baits, Hook: – 10mm angel pellet banded, worm, caster, maggot (multiples), paste, soft pellets, and cubes of luncheon meat.

Get feed patterns correct little and often very often.
