a bit burnt out and sorry for
myself for all the blanking.
We started catching well off
the surface and over the next
three days we had a massive
hit of fish. Most days I’d catch
roughly four-five fish a day and
ended up with 13 fish before
my shift started again. James
went on the catch even more.
surface after work. Sundays
were usually my best day as
the complex would clear out
and I’d find my way to the fish
easily. I’d get my fishing fix
most evenings off the surface.
I did catch the odd fish from
the bottom but looking back
all the anglers who catch a
lot of fish on most of the lakes
The biggest I had was an old
mirror in the low 30’s and a
common of 33lb. James had
fish to upper 30’s. This was
a good catalyst for my future
fishing while working here.
Floaters were the way after
work in summer I also had
great success in spring and
early autumn on them too. It’s
a great way to catch carp.
Although
I
continued
to struggle on the bottom
throughout my fishing at
bluebell I was ready when mid
spring came around and hit it
off early the following year of
my employment there. If the
sun was out I knew I’d have
a great chance of catching off
are excellent zig anglers. The
sooner you get to grips with
the foam at bluebell your catch
rates will improve.
To summarise my fishing
experience or try and improve
it zigs would be the key to it I’d
say. If you ignore them you’re
missing out on a very high
percentage of possible bites.
Most people put way too much
bait in and the lads who catch
well have all the strings to
their bows and utilise them in
the right situations. They also
know how to get to the swim
they need. Obviously getting
on the fish is important but
not always possible.
