Another catch report: in from sponsored angler Phil Holt ... phil recently fished festival fishery on an annual social, so with phil drawing swim 10. When he turned up in the swim he noticed needing bubbles mid water out in front of him so was quite happy with the swim he'd picked. With very little signs of feeding fish on the far Reed line phil opted to fish all 3 rods mid water. Previous trips to the lake with super results and success his Bait of choice and tactics were always going to be the same , as its always performed and produced at Festivals. so using small bags of satan micro pellet, with a pink grafter wafter over a bed of grafter boilie has always done me well and some huge successes on this lake they absolutely love vader baits in hereπͺ. Over the 48 hours I managed to trip up 3 fish, biggest going 17lb.which are Unusually small captures for Festival. But you cant choose the size of fish you catch and they were welcome all the same... bait tactics and watercraft all coming into play on this session and really looking forward to getting back there fishingleads.uk
