Did anyone get out over the weekend and manage to peg on the end of that southerly then?
It was definitely an improvement on previous weekends during the day but still the hard frosts in this part of the country overnight, i'm now longing for a change after yet another "convenient" jig session and longingly watching a distant roach angler enjoying a few fish on the waggler.
The fishing was rock hard with the predators which surprised me a little as they didn't even switch on late afternoon, I managed to lose a low double pike first off and had a missed swipe from another before netting a perch of around a pound and a half... my mate who fishes the deads had his third consecutive blank in our last three outings without so much of a sniff!
After still losing the pike on a large softbait with a self-rigged stinger i've decided i'm losing fish because the hooks aren't setting properly with the mono so i'm going to re-spool with braid for the fist time ever and see how it goes.
So then... How did it go for you?
