Over the last year the mote has fishes very poorly and everyone seemed to be writing the water off including myself.
I fished the waggler at about 2 rod lengths out hoping to catch maybe 10-20lb of roach but ended up with one of the best days fishing ever.
I had a netter a roach within 10 seconds of the first cast on maggott then every cast produced a bite and i was catching roach and hybrids in the 6oz to 1lb mark.
I decided to put a few balls of groundbait in and this resulted in my first bream of around 5lb and i started to catch the odd further bream in between the roach and hybrids.
I ended it up with around 60-70lb in 6 hours fishing which included about 30 hybrids some roach and 10 bream between 2 and 5lb and alone 2lb tench.
A superb days fishing from a natural lake and no one seems to know where all these hybrids have come from as we,ve never seen this amount in there before.
I can only think if i had taken my pole and box and i stayed a bit longer i could of done a ton easily the fishing was non stop ,the more bait you fed the more manic the fishing got it really was a red letter day and i will be back.
