Team member catch report! A quick weekend session on the local park lake produced an unforgettable reward in the shape of this stunning dark mirror.
For this trip, I introduced a generous spread of boilies across an area roughly the size of a tennis court, finishing the presentation with bright pineapple pop-up. The first night passed quietly, but I had confidence in the spot and decided to leave the rods exactly where they were, trusting that the fish would eventually move through the area.
That decision proved to be the right one!
At around 5pm, the middle rod absolutely tore off, leading to an incredible battle before I finally slipped the net under this beautiful dark mirror.
Sessions like this are a reminder that patience, confidence in your approach, and sticking to the plan can make all the difference.
