Re: Zander bites.
Ive fished two different marinas a lot. Ive found them very hit and miss for the zander and I've done a lot of all-nighters in the boat going for them. I know Dave/Fentiger has too. We've both had far better results for the bigger zander on the main river. Some one will always occasionally come up trumps in the marina of course but the batting average is nothing special. On the plus side..there's always a couple of boat owners who are 'nuts' to keep me entertained and p****d off in equal measure and one marina had a f*****g parrot that would talk all night of you were plotted up anywhere near, drove me nuts
With my daughter off to Uni soon, we're considering a move to be nearer the banks, must be great to be close every day.

Re: Zander bites.
Interesting that and makes some sense re catches so far. I did fish a pit near that joins the river a few years ago, did fish to over 18 I think and for me a pb of 15.8, the only difference from a marina is the lack of boats!

Rob's summed up our experiences on the marina's being a bit 'hit & miss' totally, I never did that good at all in the one I fished a lot to be honest. Cost a few quid to keep the boat there too. I think the Zander prefer the flow, I also think it makes them grow bigger.
That said, if you have access to a decent place where you get a few, that's brilliant mate - must be great to have your dinner then pop outside to put the rods out rather than the cat.

Running low on the bait now so must get the float rod out today for a few hours.

Last hour of light, first two of dark, big skimmers for me. But this is ancient history relatively. My first double was out of the area, 20 odd years ago.
I was having a conversation about the river that way yesterday and you’re literally the only person I know putting any time in so I hope it pays off.

If I'm thinking the right water now ( ) it did some really good doubles a few years back, my mate Nick caught some good ones there.

Re: Zander bites.
I was just wondering where do zander spawn as part of tracking them down, I already knew they spawn later than pike and at a slightly higher temperature of 10-14C which I didn't know, also I knew that the male guards a nest being the very modern blokes that they are but interestingly they spawn over gravel in "flowing" water at depth of between 3 and 9 ft so in theory as the temps rise, any mature fish that are in the marina will leave for the river?

Caught some nice roach and the rods are just about to go out.
The water quality here is always going to be questionable although at the moment and as so often, it looks great.

Re: Zander bites.
Even with slow motion, the speed of the mouth opening is incredible and must create one hell of a vacuum to suck prey in, actually looks as though the force of this created bubbles as seen coming from the zds mouth, much in the same way a prop creates bubbles by cavitation, that what it look like anyhows?
