In my experience they get on the feed big time. Most of the waters I've fished close for a period for spawning (rightly so) but I've had seasons where they spawn so late they're only just finished by the time the lake opens. I've had, and seen others have, absolutely massive hits during this period. They just go mental and feed their heads off. Food is a huge part of their recovery process, they need it. They start growing the following years eggs almost immediately so they need the grub to fuel this process.

humans tend to sleep lol i found they do go feeding mad but not straight after.

I wouldn't be looking to move away from the biggest weed growth and shallower water, in theory it's bang on 👍

If you don't set your clutch properly then you will lose your rod. As finchey said the initial run is insane.

Yes mate the initial run they go like a train and if you get an 8lb plus the fight is amazing. Great fun my favourite sea fish I love fishing for these fish.

normally they just laze about in the weed to recover. One of the problems with pre booking of swims IMO you can’t necessarily get where the fish are unless the owner will let you move and that depends if anyone else is on at the same time. anyway, good luck, and I really hope the fish are in your area and you catch ‘em. Hopefully all the spawning will be done and dusted by then.

A few hounds caught last night and a tope pup. This was the best hound and my best this year.
