Big Bream – Alton

April 23^rd, back on Alton, in Birchwood Bay.

48 hours.

Air Temp, 9c dropping to 0c (yep, zero and nearly May!)

Air pressure 1012 and rising.

Full Moon rising at 9 pm.

Swim 6 feet deep, 15 yards out at the bottom of near side shelf.

Interesting session.  My target species were Tench, but with it being so cold, although they were about, they weren’t feeding. 

Although I’ve had a few small bream from this swim in the past, I certainly didn’t expect 10 fish of such quality.  All old original stock too, none of the small head, huge body fish that have shown recently.  Overall, very happy with this session.  Hey, 16c with lows of 8c next week.  More like it, and I may well be back.
