Nice one, well done. Now you won't stop catching them off the top...
Took me a while too before to get the first one on the surface but after that it became a lot more consistent :) maybe it's a confidence thing ... or else the purchase of Mr Patchinko :wink:

Give the LC Gunfish a go...they also catch well on the top. Padge73 is stocking them at the moment.
