Ryan Butt After arriving at the Lake knowing the last fish caught on the bottom was back in November so My thoughts were on zigs.. walking around and chatting with the lads I changed my mind i decided to take a completely different approach as they were all zigging with little action over the last 6 days. I stuck a bucket in the point and continued to lap tge Lake where I'd seen a couple of show at the other end on the front of the n/e.. I sat for a while continuing to watch the water and seen a couple more shows on a bar at approximately 12 wraps out so my mind was made up I walked down and grabbed the bucket I previously put down the other end. After setting up things were looking slow as the few shows I saw had stopped, so I decided to washing line 1 over to the right hand margin, 1 on the bar and 1 I'd zig.. After setting up with the rods out nothing was happening which I kind of thougt as of the time of year on church was hit and miss, The following day soon arrived and still no action but I noticed a few shows over my baited spot so I decided to knock the zig on the head and go for 2 on the bar. Still nothing so I thought I'd rest the swim for a couple of hours with 3 more spombs to tempt any thing in. The rods wend back out at around 2pm all set. Sat there looking at the water I noticed a couple of feeding shows on the 2 rods on the bar and a slight indication on the bobbin... still sat 10 minutes later with the same a few bleeps etc.. I slipped into the waders and within seconds the rod melted off with a reasonable battled it ended up in the net, 34lb of linchhill mirror, I retained it and stuck the rod out as down as I could with another 3 spombs... rod back out pics done.. I sat looking at the water when once again the alarm with a slight bleep... I now knew there were a couple of carp feeding so waders on and boom it melted with another 30lb in the net.. rod back out, soon after that whilst I was chating to a friend ge rod agsin melted off this time with a 28lb safe in the net.. the next day soon was here with the weather taking a turn getting colder so things slowed right down as the few carp moved off of the front of the easterly. A brace of 30ss and a 28 was more than enough considering nothing had been out off the bottom since November.. for me it was job done
