Had a couple of casts in #4 on the platform nearest the pylon, and was hard going casting in to the wind. The wind was fairly strong and blowning from the South West. Then moved around to the causeway and fished in to #4 with a team of buzzers under a bung. Spent a while without getting a touch. Tryed an intermdediate and still no joy. Fish had been rising behind me in #5 so had a go at casting in to the wind and could'nt get a pull.
Moved around to #5 and started to egt some action. The fish were shoaling up and swimming along the surface. The first fish I caught was over 3lb and was a cracker, chock full of green Daphnia, fish took black holo buzzzer. It was a matter of waiting for some surface disturbance and casting too it. Had a few pulls, and then noticed what seem to be a large pike head breaking the surface coming through the shoal of trout. Saw this happen twice, never knew there were Pike around, also had a comorant sticking its nose in a couple of times. Took a fish on a Black Joe, thanks to Sotfly for doing the step-by-step!

Had a couple more in the three positions above, last one I chased along the bank and caught it opposite the Comorant Island. The Comorants are even nesting on the ground as the trees are decimated, and there aren't many branches left for there nests, shows how much they have adapted and how safe they are with no natural predators around.
Had to leave early to get home for the Chelsea v Mancs game, so packed up at 6:30. The fish seemd to be on sedges as the bloke next to me was getting quite a lot offers to his G&H sedge and there were plenty flying around the margins. Will need to tie up some silver invictas and G&H's. Hopefully will be back on Friday.
