F1s In The Sunshine On April Fools Day.

 Morning all,

My fishing mojo has dissapeared once more, I have not been since last September!!!!!!

With the clocks going forward and extra time one the bank I chose to go to a local commercial that a friend of mine owns.

Fishing the Match Lake I opted to rotate 3, close range swims at:

9 o'clock

12 o'clock

3 o'clock

to give the swims a rest after catching a few fish.

Float used was a small, hand made, shallow water stick float or dibber if you are fishng still waters, coupled with a Bob James Centerpin and a 15 foot Drenen DRX rod.

After intoducing some micro pellets to each swim I started off on sweetcorn which produced a few small F1s but bites quickly dried up. 

Next to to try was banded pellet, again, I had a few fish then the bites dried up.

I was 50 minutes into a 2.5 hours session now and only had 6 fish.....and not very pleased with my performance!!!!

My last bait to try was home made paste, a bait I have used more frequently, with great success over the last three years.

A few more F1s graced the landing net but could not get a rythm going.

Next change was to I take a few shots off my rig and fish paste again but thee inches off the bottom.

That was it, after that it was a bite a chuck for an hour and a half!!!

I caught 39 F1s and one mirror for and estimated 30lb ish.

I was happy with that for a short session at the beginning of March in a woderful wooded sactuary full of wildlife. I could even hear the owls hooting their good bye as I departed !!!

Mojo is back !!!!!!!

😁.

What have all of you been up to?
