Great day at Badshot Lea Big today. Was there by about eight, but it was a cold morning and not much doing. Was in my usual swim on the pin, one rod about 3/4 way to the rope and one about 1/2 way. Had a running method on the long rod with two 10mm crab & crayfish boilies and a ton up / fishmeal on the feeder. Same mix on the other but fishing a cage feeder standard paternoster style with a 60cm hooklength to single boilie on the hair.
First fish was on the long rod and probably the best of the day, a 6lb 9oz Bream just before 10am. That rod then started going a bit better but the shorter rod wasn't getting anything. Deciding the cage feeder / paternoster rig probably wasn't great on the buzzer, I switched it for a small method with a corn hair rigged on a 14, which immediately started producing fish. The shorter rod then caught most fish during the day, but a much better stamp was coming from the longer rod with the double boilie. A great day, shame I had to leave early, mid afternoon - but caught a good 40lb or so of Bream from 2lb upwards.
