The official start of the predator season for Zander and Pike has coincided with the weather cooling off perfectly.
Mike Bartlett found float fishing bluey dead baits in the margins very successful on his first trip to the Fens, rewarding him with a decent sized Zander and a couple of small Pike.
Mickey Bartlett opted for the gravel pits on his first trip of the year and caught a low double at range while ledgering.
Ivan Woodrow returned home from a very good French trip that saw him catch 18 Carp to over 40lbs while Neil Owczarkowski has still been catching fish off the surface at his local club lake despite the cooler weather.
Valius Paskonis has got off to a great start on his Earith Carp Lakes Syndicate catching some lovely Carp on both trips up to 26lb whilst using the Sticky Baits Manilla, good as the colder weather arrives.
