A nice opportunity to fish an early autumnal silvers match on Spring Lake and a natural bait one at that, so nice and simple, casters, worms maggots and corn, along with some Burts Baits GB, a 50/50 mix of Expander and Silver Sensation.
Peg 2, can't complain about that - well not at the start. I thought it would be a skimmer match. so set up a waggler to fish corn, a line at 14m and another at 7m, both fed with GB and casters, the long line with some chopped worm as well, finally a short line topkit or topkit +1.Fed the GB lines at the start and then had a go on the short line, a Chianti with a string of No11's, plenty of bites, small roach, so not adding much weight, but it was fine whilst the long lines settled.
I would like to be writing a tale of how the skimmers moved in and I had a great day, but I only had two skimmers and no other indications on the long lines, probably wasted far too long trying for them and feeding corn and looking over it on the waggler - never even had an indication on that!
Quite frustratingly, peg 3 was catching skimmers and I couldn't get an indication on any bait, trying on the deck, off the deck, a bulk rig and putting the strung out rig over it, all to no avail.
So, I ended up sticking it out for roach and putting 21lb on the scales, which was a long way behind the winners, the skimmers just wouldn't come over the feed, not sure why, peg 2 is a fair bit deeper than the ones around it because of the aerator, maybe, after the rain, the fish didn't want to be in the water.
Onto the next one.
