Best Areas: All areas are producing fish

Mr Gamble and I ventured out on a wild and Frandy today and were rewarded with some outstanding sport. I set the tone with an early fish on a GRHE (OK, it was on a DI5!) and Al had a fish on a cormorant, but after that - see the title. We struggled to 6 fish at lunch time taking a few on the drop on DI5 or DI3, but after warming up in the lodge the afternoon produced hectic sport as the fish chased the blobs on the surface. Most fish came to the trusty 2-tone, but also damsel and sunburst blobs. On two occasions I had a fish have 4 goes at the blob as it was retrieved (and didn't get either of them!). Al outfished me 18 - 12 in the end, but I put that down to my better manners. A grand day out! Oh, BTW, 2 double headers (1 each), and got them both in intact!
