Today I went back to Naseby Resivoir, after having recce'd it yesterday. And seeing as Ive never fished it before I decided to try lots of different baits and tactics to see what might be working. Well after three hours without a bite the bailiff came along to sell me the tickets and told me that there were loads of fish getting caught the other day and that he had personally had 25lb of Roach out from a different swim just a bit further up the dam wall. He went on to tell me that the two other guys fishing usually catch loads and that whatever I was doing wasnt working because I should have caught something by now. mmmm Great advice I thought.
I sat and had a good think about the last time I had caught anything and it worked out that I had not caught anything in my last five outings. I havent worked out how many hours that equates too because it is so bad for my morale lol.
A quick change to wag n mag on one rod and a bigger bait further out on the other rod and I was sorted.
I ended up with well over 30 (I lost count)roach some of which must have been pushing a pound and a double figure pike caught on double 10mm pellet and pepperami with a bit of plastic corn to tip it off on the other rod, and if that wasnt good enough I had a screamer on the pellet/pepperami combo which was a mirror carp even bigger than the pike.
An absolutely brilliant day.
How long have you gone without catching ?
