Had a day on baden halls middle pool not fishing for big fish average fish about 8lb. The lake was very pressured about 60 pegs and it looked like the lake was full i haven't fished like this for a long time had 8 fish out smallest 6lb 11 to biggest 10lb 3 about 60lb of fish all together and lost 2. I had 1 on a 1ft zig with celticbait pop up on. Had 1 on a stiff hinged rig with a celticbait bait pop up on.  And the rest fell to 14mm celticbait ss boilies on a simple knotless knot rig over a scattering of ss freebies here is a couple of pictures of the better ones.

I just got home from a grueler of a session. I went down to lamby lake for the last session of the 2012/2013 season .  I went down on Thursday afternoon after work.  as I looked over the lake from the road I could only see one person on the lake and that was My mate dadydd. It was soon to change because of the bank holiday. I was using celtic baits g_nut and celtic ss pop ups, anyway nothing happened for me the first night but My mate dadydd had a 20lb common at 4.30am so he woke me up for photos and then he woke me up again at 8 he only gone and had a 28lb mirror known as "the tank". By this time I was trying My best to snare one . As I've blanked for two weeks on the trot. Dafyydd was on the spicy sausage pop ups again so I jumped on the bandwagon and stuck one on a choddy and cast it out near to were he had his fish from. Weather was lovely bit cold but sunny, spring is slowly coming to us at long last .  another nite went on but I couldn't even get a beep, yet dadydd who was fishing next to me went on to have another 28lb mirror known as "3 scale " .  So he was well happy n I was pulling My hair out by then. I stayed for 4 nights and blanked hard I was on the fish but just couldn't get a take but that's the way it goes . The lads opposite me and dafydd  were also catching haveing 3 high doubles to 19lb.  Gota bit of wrk to do now while the lake is shut. Me and dafydd got the Welsh carp comp at the end of may so a bit of pre-baiting is on the cards..

After finishing work at 2pm friday i couldnt wait to get the car packed and set off down my local syndicate, lamby lake in Cardiff. i arrived at about 3pm. As i looked round the lake there was a about 5 anglers on the lake all bivvied up for the weekend, My friend had got down the lake earlier in the day to try and get us some good pegs. He decided to fish into the wind this time because after chatting to a few of the boys who were already fishing they hadnt had anything on the opposite bank, we thought the fish would follow this strong warm wind that had been blowing the opposite way all week and people were catching in the teeth of the wind last week.I set up next to my mate with the wind in our faces.As time went on the rain picked up. It definitly looked good for a couple of fish.This time i was going to give the celtic baits crustacen boilies a go.i had decided to fish two on the bottom and one on the choddy as most anglers down the lake were catching on chods lately.I used a single 18mm crustacen boilie on the two bottom bait rods and chucked them out and sprayed 100 or so boilies around the hookbaits hopefully they wanted a good munch, on the choddy i used a spicy sausage pop up and threw it out to my right away from all the angling pressure that was opposite me. As the nite went on nothing happened and i fell asleep really early due to being up at half 5 all week for work. i woke up at 7am saturday morning,bobbins not moved, so i went for a walk down to the bottom of the lake right on the back of this wind that was blowing. the baliff was fishing on the opposite bank and had 3 fish threw the night one of the biggies at 27lb down in weight normally 30lb +and  two simmos at around the 28lb mark.I went back to have a chat with my mate about moving down the bottom end.We both decided to move down the bottom end of the lake. By 12pm we was all set up in our new swims.At  6 oclock i had a screamer on the choddy on the spicy sausage pop up which matched the colour of the crustacen boilies i put around the choddy. it fought like stink all the way to the net , it turned out to be a little 11lb mirror with two big apple slice scales on the one side.It was a little beauty. i chucked the choddy back out   to  the same spot and put a pva bag of crushed crustacen boilies on the lead and put another 20 or so boilies around  the hook bait, then not long after dark i had another one on the same rod,this time it was a simmo at 16lb. , then it was my mates turn he had a 8lb ghosty and a 13lb fully scaled on the spicy sausage pop ups. time was getting on now it was 11pm before we knew it so it was time to get our heads down. Nothing happened threw the night again. i woke up at half 7 to a one toner on the delks,it was cold getting out the bag at that time of morning,a little bit of frost was still on the ground and the rods. After a cold hard scrap the fish was in the net and i flicked the stove on for a warm cupper because i was froze after the scrap it gave me. it was a little fully scaled mirror at 12lb. I decided that it was time to go home at 11 sunday morning. i was starving couldnt wait to get home and have a nice cooked dinner .I was happy to get back in to the fish because i had been blanking for nearly a month. they definitly loved the crushed crustacen boilies in the pva bag tied to the lead on a choddy but they would not take a bottom bait  all fish that weekend fell to a choddy.

I did my first overnighter up the pool no fish showing as usual so i set up in the middle of the pool i was using Celtic bait ss dumbell popups on chod rigs with ss boilies and corn as freebies.  At 8:30pm I got my only bite when i got the fish under the rod tip i most of picked up a small branch off the bottom and it slid down my line and snapped my hook link so i lost my first bite of the year. 

Competition

The first face book competition went well so get on it and enter!
