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 ;)

Lost count of the number of fish that graced the net! The sun even put in an appearance.

Too good!

12 or so fish split between a method rod in the margins with corn and up on the surface with mixers.

The biggest was a 11lb common who I swear I've had out before, really recognise the split drop tail.... It fell to the faithful Enterprise Tackle mini mixer off the surface and went mad when it was hooked!

Happy days ;)

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!
