Sunrise after a night of snotties.
Gotta love this time of year.
72 hours a float and rewarded by an amazing sunrise.
First pic at 6:36
Next left rod away just before 7 then just after 7.
Not the best quality as on iPhone.
With bream rolling all around the atmosphere was magical.
Roll on the colder weather

Re: Sunrise after a night of snotties.
At least you knew what they were.
There the best bite indicator for bream fishing from a boat.
They move with the boat but if one moves differently to the others it’s fish on.
Had to make them myself as there like hens teeth now.

Re: Sunrise after a night of snotties.
Very atmospheric.
I wonder why swingtips ever went out of fashion? Probably because they were too foolproof and long lasting for the big tackle companies, compared to more expensive (profitable) gagetry.
I have a few nice Drennan ones somewhere. I'll have to dig them out for next season as I've got just the rod for them! (Ignore the floats - they're for another occasion. ).

I've still got a couple of swing tips that get out when roaching/breaming. They are much more relaxing to watch than a quiver tip as the eyes age.

Re: Sunrise after a night of snotties.
What about spring tips??
I once read somewhere that the tension decreased the more they bent, something to do with the properties of a spring. I couldn't subscribe to that train of thought!

Re: Sunrise after a night of snotties.
I used to have a pair of 11ft E T Barlow & Sons (Vortex) leger rods with swing tip threads whipped on the butt section, so that you could use them 'in line'. Quite a neat idea that worked very well. I've not seen that on any other rods, before or since.
(Sadly both disappeared along with the rest of my rods, reels and loads of other gear taken by thieving scumbags, back in the early 1990s ).

Re: Sunrise after a night of snotties.
I had a clip on the butt swing/quiver tip back in the late 80's. You slid the spring forward to make it swing and back for spring. Worked really well to convert a float rod into leger rods when we all I only had one rod.

Can you still buy angled swing tip rubbers?

Yes you can, So last year darling!

I prefer catapult elastic
12 inch carbon tube
3 Fuji guides
Painted in UV reactive acrylic paint so they really glow at night via a black light on the back of the boat

Did I ever mention the set of catfish rods I built with threaded tip rings to take swing tips?

Re: Sunrise after a night of snotties.
Andy,
A late friend of mine had a thirty from there, it used to have public access at certain times of year, provided you joined the right club. At the momment that venue could be described Pike wise, as right water wrong time.
Back end of the season could be another story face.
Photo wise you hit the jackpot.
Good luck for the coming season

Re: Sunrise after a night of snotties.
The larder was full with the doors wide open.
But I fear the dynamics of the place have now been compromised for eternity
For the sake of clear water.
Definitely an area that fits the grass should be greener but there's too many ducks to line up.
Much better pickings to be had elsewhere with a larger window of opportunity..
May your strings be pulled well this winter P.
