After watching Stefan in the week bagging on feeder i was greatly influenced to come down and se if i could emulate his rate of catching . It was noticeable that when he fished he had reached 68 fish in the first 90 minutes and when i watched and spoke with him for about 20 minutes he caught a further 10-12 more !!
The Fish whisperer
So i decided to fish Friday as the weather forecast was considered reasonable with an abundance of sunshine and less cold . Early morning and i entered the bank at about 08:45 am.
Dam ! ...... it looks good as i prepared the kit sitting on the same place as Stefan earlier in the week
At the start i decided for a feeder approach like Stefan did in the week . I caught on first cast !! After that it became very patchy and only took another three in next 30 minutes which is very slow compared to Stefan's bagging .......ummm , i fluctuated between dead reds and small corn .
Later i tried 6m whip close in keeping both lines of attack fed with gb .
After 3.5 hours i had amassed only 42 fish , all roach , no skimmer and perch like Stefan had in the week . I caught mostly on small corn and had quite a few decent size roach.
Unfortunately for me i found snags on the feeder which i am unsure if Stefan had the same problem ? I also incurred snags on 6m whip and continuously brought up remnants of the summers weed like canadian type weed and Lilly plants stalks.
