Story: Well a quick night session after work on a Thursday evening.Dry evening and plenty of colour in the water and there was fish showing at the other end of the lake again but I wanted to fish my favorite swim. I was set up by 6pm and my first fish came at 8pm 15lb 12oz Common. Well after that I fell asleep rather early only to be woken at 2am by 'Black Spot' a common at 23lb 2oz and what a fight. Well after taking the photo's by myself as usual back to sleep and re-baited at sun rise. Time to pack up 08.30 was fast coming but then at 07.45 a drop back, so I struck and was rewarded with 25lb 8oz Mirror. Great night session and set the working weekend off well. Once again great bait but sorry to hear Ed has left, however good luck to him and keep the good work up Ash Regards Nick
