Bill's Lake 2
This week lake is still waiting for a group to fish it. (6th April)
This week the group wanted to change lakes in 15 minutes and move to lake 3 chasing fish.(lake 3 was having it off !)
So I moved them and they got 3 nice swims. On Wednesday morning they've pulled off and going home to "get a few runs" OMG ! What is happening to Carp Fishing !! LOL
Lake 3 so far this week has done a 47.12 mirror several fish around the 38lbs mark and loads of other fish.
The water is still cold and the fishing is good considering the brutal weather we've been having. But to go when the wind changes to a Southerly and everything looks the biz is madness ! Ohh well....
The week before saw a lovely group from the Midlands cope with weather from Antarctica.....The East wind was enough to cut you in half !!!
Needless to say they never got a bleep all week. Never saw a fish moove. The only action was a Pike caught on the retrieve with a Tiger nut !!!
I hope they'll be back later on in the year to get a proper bend in the rods !!????
