Vader Baits Team Member Lewis sent us in this catch report from his recent session on Rookesbury Pond π£
βI started my spring campaign on a pretty little estate lake on my syndicate called rookesbury pond, it didnβt take long to locate some fish on the pond so i didnβt hang about as I knew with the rain falling and dark sky the last of the light would soon be running out fast! I set up a helicopter rig set up with a rubber bead set at 2ft allowing the weight to sink in the deep silt and my rig able to slide up and stay clear of the deep silt, I loaded up my baiting pole with a few grafter boilies and a little hand full of grafter pellets, hook bait was a washed out pink grafter dumbbell 14mm, I did this process twice with both rods placing them out with the stealthy baiting pole at the same distance about 3 rod lengths apart, to where I spotted fish showing, at 9:30ish I had a nice steady take on my left rod and with a good battle under head torch this beautiful 30lbs mirror graced my net!β
Top angling Lewis, well done π π£ π
