Normally the lake I fish, you get big shows early morning,Ā i was glued to the lake and didn't see a single fish show in the 2 nights. Not a good sign after the water tests we had done shined a light on an issue. Hope the water quality recovers quickly.Ā Still I've got a week down the coast next week and after this weeks big winds I might be a bit luckier.Ā yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
