Bagwood Lake 19-03-13

As the rivers are in closed season

I decided to go to Bagwood lake.

My 1st choice swim was taken

 so I went on to the last swim on the venue.

I set up my pole and 

float rod with centre pin reel.

I started at 8mtrs at the bottom of a shelf

and 5 mtrs near the top.

I also fed a swim on the left hand margin

with Maggot and Casters. 

 The pole line at 8mtrs

was baited with 

trout pellet, sweet corn and hemp.

This was formed into balls and squeezed

tight.

Over the top maggot and casters.

 The pole line failed attract much attention

apart from 2 small perch.

At 9.00am 

I tried the margin with the rod and centre pin,

success was instant. 

Nice Rudd to hand and in the bag.

30 Rudd by 10.30

and a couple of perch

were in the bag.

I then tried the pole!

Big mistake

the bites disappeared straight away .

Apart from the odd Rudd

nothing else was caught.

I packed up at 2pm.

As far as I know, 

no carp were caught while I was there

by the 3 carpers.

I did have 2 carp pass the end of my keepnet

but they did not stop for a feed

when they passed my float rig

in the margin.

Another good days fishing

and the weather was not to bad.
