A great group of lads and I had planned a trip to Sywell Reservoir next weekend and I didn\u2019t waste any time preparing.<\/p>\n
As the week progressed, my mind continued to return to Bawburgh Lake and the tench within.<\/p>\n
I had been in regular contact with my good fishing buddy, Daryn and it seems he was thinking the same thing.<\/p>\n
Despite not having much luck this spring at Bawburgh, knowing what this lake has to offer swayed us both to change our plans.<\/p>\n
With regret, we made our apologies and cancelled Sywell.<\/p>\n
After work, I arrived at Bawburgh Lake to find Daryn already there, claiming that the area we wanted to fish was mostly empty.<\/p>\n
I quickly chose a swim and started to setup, the first thing I did was get out the marker rod to gauge what the weed situation was like as I had picked a shallow corner.<\/p>\n
There wasn\u2019t much weed to speak of, but there were patches of weed across the lake, I spotted a patchy area with a clean bottom so I decided to put two rods here and one in an area that appeared clear of weed.<\/p>\n
My plan was to not put too much bait out in order to ascertain what was rolling in the swim, I’d then make my decision from there.<\/p>\n
Initially, I put out about six spombs of caster, maggots, chopped worms and 2mm S-pellets.<\/p>\n
Due to the weeds, I used a heli rig with a pop up worm and a couple of rods with fake casters and PVA mesh bags of caster nicked on the hook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
