The weather changed all day from calm and sunny 1st thing to windy and overcast and back to sun in the afternoon. Ringing the changes bait and depth wise seemed to produce the best results as fish we're congregating and drifting in and out of the swim all the time. Most bites came to yellow foam but a switch to black gave instant results!

Excellent practice with the Nash Zig Float which I'm determined to put to good use over the summer ;)

It was a slow start but the action really picked up in the arvo with fishing falling to innate baits 14mm boilies and yellow foam on zigs. almost feel that i'm getting there with the zig float too ;)

Happy days - just need a sunny evening now for a couple of hours surface fishing!

A real stress buster! Grab yaself a bag of mixers and head up to Bitterwell Lake, you won't be disappointed ;)

It was very windy and although the fish were feeding up on the surface, keeping a controller and bait in position was next to impossible...

So out came the zig rigs! And it worked, 20+ fish in the space of a few hours.

Amazin ;)

All but one fish fell to surface baits, namely chum mixers as freebees and a enterprise tackle mini mixer on the hook.

The first 5 five where all commons around 9 to 11lb and in tip top condition. The fish continued to feed even once it got dark with the last 3 fish coming in complete darkness (lost a couple too, nearly managed to make it to 20!).

Rio also managed to catch one for the camera ;)

So another excellent session up at Bitterwell - if you've not yet been, grab a bag of mixers and get up there!
