Lindholme Angling Club Festival - Lindholme Lakes, 7th June 2016
Another night of banter in the bar and an equally unhealthy evening meal from the nearest take away and for a change no hangover for me this morning. The Draw Today we would be on either Willows or Laurels. Peg 24 on Willows was my home for the day an area I'd not drawn before. The weather was oppressively hot, with very little wind resulting in no ripple on the water. Set-Up Getting to the peg I had stick ups right in front of me, so I fished them out with a weed cutter. I didn't break out any rods and opted for a pole only attack with lines at 13 metres and 6 metres both with options at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock. One shallow rig just in case, other rigs at full depth. All-In The pole lines at 10 o'clock would be fed heavily, the other lines negatively via the kinder pot... I was already sunburnt from the previous day. Today would be no exception weather wise. I worked the negative lines for an hour with very little reward expect a few skimmers.
