As previously stated this pond only has 4 swims (one's a double). The hot one is the one at the end where the stream enters. According to the club chairman the second best one is the one at the opposite end. Today, I decided to do an afternoon/evening session here if the swim was free as I hadn't tried it before.
I arrived around 3:30 to find that one other person was there but as luck would have it he wasn't in the swim I wanted to fish.
The swim has two very nice and very different swims within it, the first follows the overgrown bank away from all the fishable spots. See below:
The second has trees and bushes hanging over the water giving about 20 yards of margin fishing before encountering the next swim by the lily pads. See below:
I fed both swims with sweetcorn and initially used sweetcorn on the hook until the luncheon meat hardened up. As usual when I fish the margins I was free-lining on my feeder rod. The sweetcorn did not attract any bites but when I switched to meat aounnd 6pm I managed to land this beauty. See below:
I then switched to the second swim while feeding the first and managed to land this carp - see below:
And so the pattern continued for the rest of the session - this one came after a further hour and 15 minutes:
I was on a roll now - 30 minutes later this one was in the net:
Ten minutes later the final fish of the day was caught. The only mirror of the session.
In conclusion a very good short session free-lining meat in the margins. I did miss a few so all was not perfect but a very enjoyable session all the same especially as I had never fished the swim before.
