Since my last post ive being amongst the fish landing three fish to 30.2 all falling to the new bait ive been using from assassin %age,these fish came from a two day session on the old lake at manton and a confidance boost if i can be truthful. My first fish of the session was a repete catch of the old big linear and at a very nice 28.2 after spawning it was a slow take in the night around 2am,after along battle i steered the fish over the net cord ,first fish pukka!I then went too land another 22 mirror around two hours later i was well buzzed the bait had only going in afew days before and they got there heads down on it stright away ,both fish fell to the bottom bait rig ive been using with confidance in all my fishing just as late but that was about to change when it result in a couple of dogdy pick ups and a hook pull.I decide to use the same style rig and just change the hook pattern from the wide gape to a size 8 longshank x .
Hours then past and i'd not seen a fish for at least 4 hours ,it was then anhour before dark a big lump rolled in the next swim so i decided to move swims in the dark and manged to drop acouple of baits around the area were id seen the fish roll ,It was just 3 hours until i received a slow take .As i pick the rod up i knew i was it was a lump ploding left to right in the moon light ,drawing the fish towards the net,on the mat and then the scales went round to 30.2 so i poped it into the retainer until first light ,
As the sun came up the shots were take and the fish turned out to be incribable Pinscale an awesome looker and a rae vist to the bank first time over 30, well happy with this result .The bait and the change of hook creatated a batter hook hold and that has boosted my confidance that my hook chocie.
PINSCALE 30.2
JUST A MENTION
Well done to my mate rich who landed an new PB and lake recored 45.2 (arnie) comes after 15 blanks and his sixth fish of the season ,he managed to get that run of a liftime.
A BIG WELL DONE MATE
