The highlight of the weekend was waking upto this on Saturday morning.....
Well ive just returned from the Island........
I managed to get out of work a little early friday and was down the lake by 5pm, I managed to get straight into my first choice of swim and was soon set up and fishing.
I saw quite a few fish show over my baits at dusk whilst finishing of a Kebab and went to bed feeling very confindent of a take.
I was awoken a 2:45am by Paul who had landed his first fish from the complex, a stunning 21+ Common.....he then followed this up a few hours later with a cracking looking stockie that was put in last year.
After recieving no action myself by 11am I decided to rest the swim for a few hours and have a mooch about and a bit of a social.
The rods were back on the spots at 4pm and I sat back and enjoyed a Chinese with Paul & Dan and hit the bedchair at 10pm with fish still showing.
After waking up first thing this morning to a bit of rain, I thought I may to just manage to get a fish at last knockings but unfortunatley it never happened.
The lake was full for the two nights I was there and although a few fish were caught I think the pressure made them a little cagey.
If the pressure doesnt ease off soon I may just start on "The Pit" a little earlier than I first planned, we will see.
Take care,
Smithy
