Getting down to the lake the weekend after the May Bank Holiday I wasn’t looking at such a busy water but I decided to stay on the big lake due to the fish I’d caught the weekend before. The wind was pushing from the South West and there were fish showing on the end of it. This meant that again I would be fishing the deeper end of the lake in water ranging from 14 to 20ft in depth which would normally worry me in such warm weather but getting the result the weekend before from the same depth helped me get my head around that. Seeing as I had fish showing in front of me I didn’t want to get the marker or Spod rods out so I again, just as the week before, I decided to put bags on showing fish and also hit a single pop-up out at range just to cover that area of water. The fish were showing 70 or 80 yards out from the swim I was in and was easy to put small solid bags to that kind of range even with the wind in my face. It seems that takes at this end of the lake come more at night as my first take of the weekend was again in darkness at 03:15 on the Saturday morning, much the same time as the week before. One of the bags had resulted in the take and a small Common was netted, held for the camera then returned. I was happy that again I had caught from such deep water on the end of a warm wind. Much of Saturday was slow but just as I was thinking the fish had moved on I had a take, again on one of the solid PVA bag rods on the same spot that did the fish in the early morning …
