Spread Out

The heavy rain we had a couple of weeks ago slowed things up on Mustang for a few days, but the fish are now back on their spring feeding spell and have been coming out steadily from all over the lake.
A spread of boilies over the top of each rod is producing 80% of the bites - it is nice, simple fishing. Spodding has been less effective, but a few fish have been out from areas baited with chopped boilies, corn and carp pellets.

Nash Squid baits and Mainline Cell are working best as usual. I just photographed a 21lb mirror, which was the lads second bite in an hour on a day trip, which both fell to a cell pop-up fished over 40 freebies.

As some of the lads who have been down know, I have not been about much in the last couple of weeks, because of shows and other work. Many thanks for the pictures that some of you have sent me, I really appreciate them. I have missed a lot of photo opportunities and I know several fish have been banked that I haven't got any pictures of this time around.

Anyway, I hope you like the pic's
