Catch Report: Kelvin Burrows at Woodland Waters, Ancaster
📅 Session Date: 7th March 2025
â±ï¸ Duration: 18 hours
LiquirigS Products Used: Zanana Pellets in PVA mesh bags
Kelvin Burrows recently headed to Woodland Waters for an 18-hour session, and what a session it turned out to be! Here’s his story, in his own words:
“After arriving at the lake and catching up with a friend on the other side, I noticed a particular area that wasn’t being fished. It had two promising pegs— one with overhanging bushes, deep marginal areas, and a flat spot, and another with overhanging trees, bushes, and a hump 10 wraps out to the middle. Option 2 instantly caught my eye: snaggy, deep margins with a hump— perfect!
After chatting with my mate, who handed me a bag of Zanana pellets (cheers, mate!), I couldn’t wait to put them to use. I quickly got back to the peg and set up in the dark around 10:30 PM. The lake was alive with splashing— absolute carnage out there! I prepared my rigs: 7-inch clear booms, size 10 quick-change swivels, and pineapple pop-ups topped with wafters. My mix of Scopex boilie crumbs and Zanana pellets smelled spot-on for a bite.
I placed my rods: one under the tree on the left, another under some bramble bushes on the right, and the third on the hump. I added seven handfuls of Zanana pellets to the margins and waited.
The first action came at 1 AM— a one-tone screamer! I landed a stunning 14lb common. After resetting the rod and adding more bait to the margins, the bites kept coming. At 1:30 AM, the right rod went off, but the hook didn’t set properly, and I lost the fish. At 2:45 AM, the left rod under the tree produced another take. This one felt like a proper lump, but just as I was about to net her, she shook off. Gutted!
Determined, I tied fresh rigs and got them back on the spots. At 4 AM, the left rod screamed off again. This time, I landed a pristine 20.02lb mirror— a real beauty in immaculate condition. After loads of photos, I was buzzing.
Things quietened down after that, with the lake filling up by 6 AM. At 8 AM, the middle rod produced another take, but unfortunately, it was another hook pull. That’s fishing for you— win some, lose some!
