...I know, I caught one!
Okay, it was only one but it was my first and we were only there for a short session. I tried jigging for a bit but found no fish. I then reverted to dropshotting and fished the places where fish hang about. This is where all the questions start to pay off. I know that predators like to hide against features like moored boats. I dropped the rig into the canal just behind a boat and got a take straight away.
It made my day! It is only one but it is a start and it proved I must have done something right. The full story is HERE.
The down side was I lost a couple of rigs from snags. I do think that my inexperience paid a big part in that but it can only get better...
