After a carfeully quiet baiting up with or standard mix of
crushed boilie, tigers, hemp, pellets and our secret additives we
slowly placed our heaths (ledgers) precisely over the desired
area, we sat confident of some early action.
2 hours passed with little more than a goldfish flaunting around
over our baited spot! Though through observation we could clearly
see clouds and obvious fish movement around the baited spot...so
we waited it out in hope.
A couple more hours passed by and while the T-Rex like birdlife
at Manvells Farm Fishing were entertaining us
enormously through their constant child like advances towards our
bait buckets, there was still no movement!!!
A change of plan was a must, with my freshly tied Ussain Bolt Rig
ready with a pink flouro, surrounded by a tight bag of white
amber boilies i casullay flicked under-arm around a rod length or
two off the baited area keen to see some movement we watched
anxiously.
Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep went my buzzer after perhaps an
hour in the lake, though it swiftly stopped, the dreaded 4 beeper
had done me again!! This was quickly followed by another short
run that was picked up by my old hands to quickly and so was
missed.
