Quick overnighter
August 20th, 2008

 

 Ive just come back from a quick overnight session at Elsons, I arrived in the car park at around 6.30 and after a quick lap I decided on a swim Ive fished twice before as my time was limited and I knew of a few spots I could put my rods out to. The rods were out just before darkness after applying a small amount hemp and Dynamite Baits Frenzied Monster Tiger Nuts to my spots. I changed over to fishing tiger nuts after receiving a lot of attention from the resident coots using fusion boilies in a hope that they would blend in better with the gravel bottom in the crystal clear water. I received a couple of liners on my middle rod during the night until finally I had an absolutely screaming take at 4 o’clock which resulted in a pretty looking 14lb 6oz mirror, which put up a very good account for itself until I eventually managed to draw it over the net cord. In the folds of the net it looked bigger than it was but I was pleased all the same, I left the lake around 7 but had no further runs. Lets just hope that I can pull a few more out before returning to Sparsholt in late September.
