Festive Success- Jim Hutton

I was targeting the fantastic New Forest Water Park over christmas and opted for a swim that gave me access to the central area of the lake. This was in between shallow and deeper water, an area that I knew produced in the colder months. I cast my rigs to nice, clean, silty spots just to the left of a big weeded. My rig consisted of a German rig, comprising 25lb Trick Link and a size 6 Mugga.

I introduced bait featuring 10mm CC Moore Live System, Intense Hemp, Maggots and Corn.

The weather was perfect with a big south westerly chop, rain and a full moon. I managed several fish  but the session was topped by a fish known as Fingers at 42.10.
