More Hybrid success for Darren Belton... I arrived at the lake sunday lunch time with two nights ahead of me to find it fairly quite. Although it was tempting to drop in the swim that I caught from last week - being new to the lake I wanted to get to know all of the lake. So dropped in a completely different area and soon found a nice silty area where I baited-up with a few kilos of crushed Hybrid followed by my rigs consisting of a bottom bait topped with a Mini Micro Hybrid pop-up. All was peaceful until about 3am when I was woken by what sounded like concrete blocks being thrown into the lake in front of me. The fish were there in numbers and as I sat watching, my right hand rod was away. After a spirited scrap a 26lb mirror was sat in the net and the rod put back on the spot. It then went quiet and I thought they had gone but an hour later the same rod was away again - resulting in a clean looking 35lb 4oz mirror. Mid morning I reeled in and topped-up the spot with bait, not recasting until 5pm. At 4am the same rod was away again, this time a large framed old looking warrior was the culprit, weighing in at 36lb 4oz! Another successful session on this incredible lake soon came to an end although the long drive home was made all the easier!
