Action has been up and down on Mustang since my last post, but we have had some very good results taken by several anglers and the fish are now really feeding up. The best hit, taken today, was by Simon Ingram, who banked nine and lost one in a 24-hour session! Great angling mate, they love your bait and can't deal with your rig.
On a tuition I did on Friday we manged a couple of doubles to 18lb from peg 8, the first bite cam within 5 minutes. One of my favorite catches of the season was taken by 15-year old Harry Pratt who banked a awesome 22lb mirror (another new 20 for Mustang) from peg 13 during a day-trip on his first time to the lake.
Lots of other fish have been landed including some stunning double figure linears along with at least 5 different twenties.
Pellets are still working well, but more fish have been slipping up to a simple boilie approach (20-40 around each rod). Nash Squid and Mainline Cell /Grange are still best by a mile.
This is the best time of the year to be out in my opinion as the carp are fat and feeding up for the winter. You may even see me having a bash for the first time this year soon on Mustang.
I hope you like the pic's.
