James Bayne Fishing Tackle in Callander |
Fishing Report 12/05/15
Water Temp down to 9C. Clarity 1.7m
Mainly buzzer fishing again this week. Top areas have been Lochend and the Butts due to the wind but good catches from most drifts in calmer weather.
2015 Boat League Results.
The James Bayne 2015 Boat League is under way again and it is a strong field. After a year out Colin McDonald (left) returns to the boat league and wins the first heat of the year with 9 fish. He caught 5 over in the butts on a floating line on buzzers then he moved to Sams point and caught another 4 on a slow glass pulling boobies before it turned cold which, "put paid to many more fish getting caught". Colin wins a £25 voucher boat league sponsor James Bayne tackle shop in Callander. 2nd was Ken Oliver with 7 fish and 3rd was newbee, Shug Shaw also with 7 fish. The new random selection of partners worked well and may prove to be popular!
Some wild weather at the moment so make sure and wear protective gear. Trendsetter Gordon Cunningham displays his stunning piercing.
