Terrys Day on Smiggys Lake

Terry Newton has sent in a report on his recent pleasure session on Smiggys Lake, read his account below...

Having only joined Broome anglers in September, I am still learning the the best methods to fish on all the lakes. I have been concentrating on Smiggys Lake, trying for a decent bag of fish. I have had good bags of silver fish using light tackle but the bigger fish fish have been harder to come by; only coming in one's and two's. Recently I had a couple of hours to spare, so arriving at Smiggys at 4pm I found I was the only angler on the lake. I chose to fish peg 1 and fished pole up to the margin reeds on sweetcorn. In two hours I had this nice bag of fish. Although not the big bags I am trying for, not bad for a couple of hours fishing.

Pleasure session at Smiggys

We often have to report that the Matchmen have had to struggle for bites when fishing on Smiggys Lake....To be fair this is often the case when a Fishing Match takes place. The disturbance of sixteen or so anglers all arriving at the same time, bait being introduced all around the Lake, early fish being caught etc etc can all help to make catching fish a little more difficult!

We have David Holmes to thank for sending in some pictures of a couple of his recent pleasure sessions on Smiggys, just to show what can be caught from this water when it is a little quieter...
