About 10 years ago I started a local lake,..a lake about 8 acre’s in size.At that time the stock level was massive, lots of doubles and twenties. with the odd thirty plus .

The biggest resident at that time weighted 34 lb…a big . Everybody wanted to catch that monster. was fairly easy, days of 5 or more where standard.The loved the anglers bait and kept coming back for it. At that time I did not land the monster, but sadly lost it in of the net twice. Last year I had caught my targetfish from another lake fairly fast. With no direct other option I decided to take a ticket for the lake I fished 10 years ago. After arriving I noticed allot of anglers, but nobody catching ..

Its suits every possible rig, and very easy to make.. You don’t have to tie new and can change from to pop-up in a second. (more…)
