Hi Folks,
Well i went for a little practice session on Langold lake. I was going to go for the feeder pegs but in the end i decided for the pole pegs, just to get rid of the bait from the previous days.
Unfortunately i made a bad mistake! Never had a touch on the pole rigs went 11m,16m and 18m and just could get a touch anywhere. I'll put it down to picking a peg without any real depth of features (Having aroundf 4ft). I did pretty much try every i went down to a single red on a size 22 tied to 8oz hook link topped off with 4 elastic and as you predict i had a bite and lost it with about 10 seconds. May of been a tench or one of the smaller carp.
In the end i just tried to simple feeder approach going out to around 35 yards or so (Just after the sharp drop off to 12ft), but even that didnt really have much results. I did have a small amount of success using my choppy mix on the feeder.
By the end of the long! day, i manager 7 skimmers and a fairly decent perch. Not usual for the lake!
My Evaluation?
Well i think its time to get on the feeder pegs now. All the weed looks as though its cleared, so now just time for some good old feeder fishing!:).
I think i have a spare slot on Thurday for a fishing session but other than that am crambed with Tuition days. Hopefully i'll get someone out a little better on the feeder on thursday!
See you then,
Nathan
