Manchester club lake
Mirror
Fruity tuna
Arriving at the chosen venue the fish were showing all over the lake. I opted for a centre swim giving me command of a large area of water.
With several features and the fish being very active but not wanting to get on the feed I had to work for my rewards.
I tried zigs solid bags singles I introduced bait I even had the the odd fish taking off the top
But no success.
I decided to wind the rods and go and watch them for a while next door opposite the island. After a good hour it become clear what route this particular shoal were using so I went back to my swim clipped up to the island and deployed 3 spombs of corn and the new fruity tuna fishing essential ib pop
Up over the top Within 20 mins I had a cracking little zip linear in my net.
This capture unfortunately spooked the remains and that was that.
Night was drawing in and I know these fish get in the middle during the hours off darkness so 3 rods tight on a spot in the middle of the lake and plenty of fruity tuna whole and chops over the top of my essential IB hook baits I sat back with a cup of tea and could hear them boshing over my spots I just knew I’d be woken at some point with the sound of my alarms.
4.30am I was out of my bed to a screaming one tonner from the middle rod. A nice dark common was in my net 10 mins later.
Early departure finished my 24 hour session but to have 2 wicked fish on the new bait during a moody visit to my local club was a fantastic feeling and il certainly be continuing on this particular bait.
