The Iceman Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) After dropping off youngest daughter to an all day birthday party I took Icegirl for a fish in the boat at Chipping Norton lake Was a late start and didnt get on the water till just after nine Along the first run flicking 2in gulp worms on hidden weight jigheads one small flattie was landed couple of minutes later I hooked what I thought was a good bream but after about 10min I finally got a look and to my surprise it was a big mullet that went 47cm finally got it in the net after a couple more deep runs Worked a couple of more banks for nothing then decided the best way to get Icegirl a fish was to troll an SX40 not long after starting she caught a small tailor and then a little bit later a bream The tide was just about right to hit a spot I knew could hold EPs so a change of lures to 2in pumpkinseed grubs on 1/16th jigheads and off we went They were there and Icegirl got her first EP not very big and the pic is a shocker if only I could get her to hold a fish We caught about 6 all small ones and then couldnt find the school again So home for lunch it was EP Edited November 2, 2008 by The Iceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Not to sure about next sunday now Mitch but will probably still fish it need a change of tactics I reckon Tasted the water and it was fresh on top Could be bream a bit deeper than we fished A decent downpour with water coming over the weir and it just pools in the lake and takes ages for it to disperse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Sounds like a nice session with Tessa, Andrew Its always good to see the kids getting new PBs; especially on lures. I couldn't tell you if the fish are biting down herre at the moment ... too bloody windy! That is a terrific photo of the mullet, Tessa. Well done!
