Very quick stop off at the gentrified mill lock on the way to the bluish lagoon. Shallow and clear, (water down for lock repair) and lots of dying weed popping up off the bottom. Nothing on maggot, put in a worm back in the same spot and away. Talk of tench of on here of late and this felt like a good one, however it was really a pike and not far short of doubles but the inevitable bite off. Didn't spot the albino pike that has been seen in the lock.
Headed off to the bluish lagoon, mild, still and woodsmoke in the air. In with a worm down the edge whilst I fed the ledge and bingo. Bob, bob, bobbing away. Perch like a worm even more than pike. Every drop in and up came a coconut.
Further out on the spray mag and wag and it was mostly skimmer and hybrids.
Very pleasant. What next? The Essex Scribbler has his ray head on with some lovely double hook ups today but I only have hours not a day. Back to the lagoon with hemp caster and corn, and a last hour into dark with flake? Spray the bridge pool for dace and spotties and again a last hour on flake? Or shit or bust worm and flake on bigger hooks down by the noddie railway? Or drowning some deads in the mill lock?
