Despite the prospect of a flat calm and hot sun, thought that i would go and fish the second half of the flood this afternoon, at a local mark.Arrived and was greeted with said falt calm and hot sun, conditions that i am not that confident in, but still i would be fishing. Thinking that a surface lure would be the way to go, clipped on a frosty and started fishing. Hadn't had too many casts when i had a swirl behind the lure, stopped it, twitched it, stopped it again, twitched it some more-nothing.Another few casts and the same thing-swirl, tweak, stop, tweak, tweak, stop, tweak-nothing again. Now this isn't the first time that i have had this happen, but still the outcome is the same-long on swirls, short on fish. Is it me or does this happen to others? Any advice appreciated.
Anyway after, toiling away in the sun for a couple of hours, tried an xlayer(ayu) and got a nice fish just over 2lb right on HW. View attachment 1903
Fish returned, good end to the day.
