Sport:  The boats have really come into their own this weekend, as we finally wave bye bye to the last of the ice. The Northern shallows have fished fantastic with fish coming thick and fast. One of my favourite spots Cooks creek is according to Scott Stuffed with fish. Scott once again had a belting day with 15 fish coming to sparklers and orange blobs. The trick was a very slow figure of eight. Paul Davison and Steve Smalley had some 20 plus fish to their boat again the Causeway and the shallows produced the goods with black and green mini lures fished slowly on a Di 3 doing the trick.
Top boat today however belonged toPhilip Pendlebury and his boat partnerwho had a staggering 33 trout between them! They found fish in amongst the Willows with Black and green doing the work once again. One thing that was a little unusual for this time of year however was that the found just as many fish fishing very deep water between Gull Island and the Willows. This is great news as it makes me believe that the fish are starting to spread out and indeed thaw out! Also scoring big was Andy fairweather who eaked 20 fish from along the shallows a fantstic result with the bulk of them falling to cats whiskers.
A settled week lies ahead and the fishing will only go from strength to strength.
