I was back for more with a new rig and renewed enthusiasm.I had deduced rightly or not that bottom baits were going to be more effective than pop ups due to Dave kicking my ass on the last session whilst fishing the same water.
On arrival the place was heaving so I dropped into the pump house peg for the day.The only action was from a common of about 5lb! My heart wasn't in it really as I knew I would be moving just to the right of the toilets at 4pm when it became free.The two lads in there were from the North East and had just done 49hrs.It transpired that they had put somewhere in the region of 30kilos of bait out which included everything you could think of.The only action they had was on the second morning when they banked a mirror of around 14lb.As they packed up, I began moving some of my kit over and took the opportunity to clock their rigs.They had tried to do something different but had gone
in completely the wrong direction,foot long hooklinks and 22mm dumbell boilies!!
I dropped in opposite Tremain who I had seen land four fish up to 29lb, they were all over him like a rash, crashing and popping their heads out etc.First it was out with the marker,second, 11/2 kgs of boilies.At the moment I'm using the awesome B2 from nash.These aren't available through shops but I think you can still buy the ingredients to roll your own.
Mark, a mate from work dropped in next to me and on the same rigs but just fishing stringers nailed two fish at seventeen and eighteen.My first action came after about 45mins in the shape of a low double mirror.Once I had recast I put another six spods of boilies on the money.An hour later and two beeps saw me bent into a lump,at first I thought I had picked up somebody else's line because of the way the fish fought.Dave was there when I landed it to confirm the weight and see it go back in one piece etc.Bloody hell I'm not complaining but Ive had three thirty pound commons and from PV and its been the same fish each time! This time she went 37lb on the nose.A few pics later and I recast to the same spot but didn't have any more action.Marks second fish came at daft o clock in the morning.
Mark had to go to work, but I had seen so many fish moving, (not quite on the baited area), that I decided to ring the Mrs a wangle another night. I let young Brad drop in with me and showed him a few tricks but even though he was happy they only produced bream.I managed a small common as he was packing up, which wiped out all three rods.Its always worth the extra effort involved to get the rod back on the money spots, with the lines marked and clipped I put them back out.This time the effort provided dividends in teh shape of a 33lb+ common! This was backed up with a double in the night, and I danced off to work.
The 37 was caught on a double beanie bottom bait rig, and the 33 on a pop up rig.Ill let you draw your own conclusions,ass mt heads a bit up my arse at the minute.

The last two sessions have been pretty poor really,the first one I couldn't get on the fish
and the second I could have but didn't move because it was raining! What a prick!
