No Eels!

Couple of apologies first:

Had to drop of the shoutbox quickly yesterday, due to a customer problem (I work from home, when I'm not out doing visits)
So apologies to Perch_King as we were well into a conversation and Baitmaster as I didn't get round to letting him know where i would be last night

I managed to get down the drain to a favourite venue at about 4:00pm and decided to take a short walk to a deep area, i've always like the look of.

Had some difficulty in getting any baitfish, but persisted until nearly to dark to see a float and got together enough fish for the night.

At about 12:30am, I had a very positive run and a fish on for a minute until the hooks pulled, it felt like a very good fish (but the ones you lose always do!)
Next the floating weed made a brief appearance so all the rods were taken in and replaced exactly where i wanted them.
At 1:30am I had a run and was grateful to land a Zander of about 5-6lb.
All was quite until 2:30 when the other rod (close in) screamed off and I landed a lovely Zed of 10lb 5oz!
So proceeded my first attempt at self photography - oh dear! Still its framed reasonably, but I need to set up for a brighter photo!



Really pleased with the nights fishing and I noticed some subtle changes in the fishing since I was last here 3 weeks ago:
1. No eels
2. The fish where all very lightly hooked
3. Reduced baitfish activity

So I guess the change in season's is starting to take effect.

Cant wait to get out again next week!
