THANKS FOR TAKING THOSE PHOTOS OF ME UP TO MY NECK IN SWIM 8!!
THE FISH WAS A BIG 30+ MIRROR THAT TOOK ME INTO THE PADS AFTER A SHORT 60 SECOND FIGHT.
IT WAS STILL ON WHEN I GOT TO THE PADS AND I EVEN HAD HOLD OF THE TOP OF THE LEADER ONLY 2 FEET FROM THE FISH BEFORE THE HOOK PULLED! GUTTED !!!
I WENT ON TO BLANK BY THE WAY!!

Never mind, its all part of the experience.

So................ What did the bottom of the like feel like then, when you went walkies?

The left side of the pads is absolutly pukka! It slopes down from the island steeply to 3FT ( nearer 4FT when the water level is normal ) just left of the pads so dont fish too tight to the island. The bottom was a mix of stoney gravel and firm silt with no crap on the lake bed at all.
