I relearned and old lesson last weekend, you may think you have the lake sorted out but no one tells the carp the rules.When I joined Shaun on our syndicatewater Grenville Lake he had already fished for 24 hours.He was fishing a swim in a bay that he knows well and has fished successfully over the last year. I chose a swim at the other side of the point on his right.Conditions for us both looked good.Within an hour I was getting liners over the Surf n’Turf and after three hours I had a run that I did not connect with.I sat confidently for another 24 hours; while the new wind that should have pushed the fish towards swung slowly around 360 degrees and the temperature cooled considerably.Was I worried was I hell? The fish in this lake always fish off the back of a cold wind.Don’t they?The wind picked up and I sat it out. (more…)
My mirror fell to a new bait on test, Surf ‘N’ Turf which was attached to an unusual take on the chod which I have been playing around with. Rather than using beads to hold the hooklink in place, I have been experiencing a lot of success by using two air-dried 10mm hookbaits threaded on to a TF leader and a 3 oz distance lead. Alongside this I presented a small PVA bags containing a dozen whole and broken freebies. I was the only one to catch during the trip and to do so during the snow make the experience even more special.
