Well I am eventually going to enter into the spirit of things and print off a card and start fishing the challenge, apparently as I stock this kit I should also use the kit so here goes and hopefully I wont blank every time, will try my best to get a chunk of pics in, if you see nothing more I will have given up fishing and started golfing

cheers phil, I do have a few more but not on my phone, a mate is gonna send them to me, suppose I should make an effort considering what I own, I have had mega results on mini isomes and little chunks of the white xl just in case it helps anyone

 

[Wreckingball76]

Well done Paul, instant impact at the top of the table. You cannot, will not, shall not, must not beat me.......lol

 

[Thunderpants]

Wow twelve in one go! That's amazing! Were you slow retrieving the isomes or just bouncing them about on the bottom?

 

[Moonfleet Angling]

isomes

isomes

I found the small pink isomes worked better sitting on the bottom and just bouncing every 15 seconds or so if there wasnt any interest, nibbles came pretty quick after a bounce on the bottom, wind was my biggest problem initially, I tried going onto the smalles jighead possible but there was a 20ft drop and even with the finest of braids known to man the wind was blowing the line and lifting it off the bottom without me having any control, thats when I went onto bigger hooks with chunks of the xl white about 1cm long, to tell the truth the little pigs still managed to get this in their mouths, the size of them, espescially the tompots and the scorpions, pestered to death by them. my best nibble rate was to nip the smallest isomes in half but put both halves on at once giving the effect of 2 worms together.
Location has a lot to do with it too, I found through a mate that getting down to water level increases the catch rate too, so steps on piers or breakwaters are great to fish from
