The weather was warmer today however I still had on 3 layers of clothing - no coat required though. There was no rain and that's how it stayed for the day.
Having arrived at the moment the fishery opened I had first choice of swims. My favourite, on Mill Lake is swim 2 and so I made my way to that one. See picture below:
I made up a small amount of groundbait and threw it in about a rod length's out. I also fed some hemp and maggots.
Straight away the float went under and in came the first roach.
I fed moderately all day with a few maggots or a few grains of hemp all day and at times it was literally a fish a cast.
I did experiment with bread and corn but no joy so it was maggots all day long!
Just after 12 I landed this nice perch:
Around lunchtime I decided to follow the pattern from my previous session and feed another swim with small 10mm seafood boillies to see if there were any carp about. I hadn't seen any on the surface.
Although there had been no signs of any carp movement the tip went round at 14:20 in came this beauty:
At 15:00, an hour or so before closing the tip went round again and this second and final carp was landed.
When I had finished I had caught 60 fish which included
2 Bream
10 Gudgeon
6 Perch
2 Carp
10 Rudd
30 Roach
There were two other people on the lake all day.
