today i went back to hockley but to fish the right hand lake, i was one peg 3 and the fish have recently been in this peg, i started with two lines one for using pellet and the other was maggots, caster, dead maggot and red meat, i wen on the pellet line for the first bit of the day and was catching f1's straight away, not all were big but i didn't mind, i had a skimmer in the mix of f1's, i was mainly catching them on ringers pellet and jelly pellets, later on it went quiet and i tried to catch some fish on the maggot line i had a ide on red meat but than it was roach for most of midday, i went back over the pellet to have a look and i had a skimmer straight away than no other bites and i caught small roach for the rest of the day on the maggot line until with a good hour left i made a margin line and fed maggot and caster it was on my top kit under a tree that went over the lake i was getting some better roach and had some chunky perch which was a good add to my weight i also had a big roach of about half a pound but i had the perch and bigger roach on caster i decided to put a caster on for my last go and i hooked in to my best fish of the day, it was a f1 that was very close to being 3lb which boosted my weight a lot. the weather changed a lot in the day and it was hard to keep fish feeding, i had a total weight of 14lb which on a hard day is a good result.
