Hi Guys,
Decided that this year I will give spinning a shot. I am pretty proficient in all aspects of fishing except this one.
My Mrs just got me a good selection of lures so I thought I may be able to make my mark.
Went on Sunday to a local canal and caught a jack pike (perhaps by accident!) on the second cast - then nothing for the next 4 hours.
Tuesday 5 hours of lobbing various lures / spinners around produced nothing on a lake where pike and perch are to be found.
Today I went to the LACC section of the Grand Union Canal at Leamington / Warwick for 5 hours and again blanked, I used just about every lure / spinner / jelly there is!
So, perhaps I am expecting too much but I thought it might have been a little easier than it is!
So the questions to those of you who are able to catch fish with spinners / lures are as follows:
1 Am I fishing at the wrong depth ? I think I covered all depths.
2 Is it too cold yet for spinning to be effective?
3 Am I perhaps a little premature i.e.Is it the wrong time of year ?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Cheers guys.
