When we fish the loch we sit on opposite banks,rab favours the West Bank and i the east but we both catch fish from our chosen swims.i do well when it's a westerly and as I found out on Sunday rab does well in an easterly,basically the bank the wind blows into produces more fish but not necessarily the biggest as i proved with the above bream.
I like to feeder fish with more traditional brown crumb with maggots,corn and worms on the hook.i like to chop the corn up before I add it to the crumb along with maggots and chopped worm.
I usually catch well in the beginning on yellow maggots but after a few hours they shy away from them and I have to change to corn,worm or the famous worm and corn cocktail,only then do I start catching again.
On Sunday though,I could not get a bite on maggots,they weren't interested.i moved on to the next bait of choice,the worm and anyone would think worm would be a banker.not a bite on that either.turns out the only thing the bream were showing any interest in was a single grain of corn,just goes to show,you think you've got it Sussed and the fish prove otherwise,so the key,I've learned,is to keep trying different baits.
Rab,being a bit younger and has done a bit of carp fishing prefers pellets.he never fails to catch on them and on sunday he caught 4 nice roach on them,the best going over a pound.he managed a couple of small bream too.
I know there are double figure bream in this loch but I think I have to change to a different bait or different tactics to catch one,is there anything I could change to give me a better chance of capturing one,anyone any ideas?
Rab always gets fish on the bank early in the session on pellets but it takes me a couple of hours to build my swim up and then I do well.
