Any zebra mussels in the lake? I've been cut off by them when lifting in to a run several times.

Crays could account for the line issue but not the screaming take...
Think chuffy et al could be right on the big toothy pike having a go

I'm still fishing at the moment, I saw something at the back of my spot late Friday evening, thought maybe a bream show, then 2 hours later the rod melted off and after playing a fish throug a snag for 45 minutes I was cutoff. Then yesterday evening after unfortunately loosing another couple of fish' first caught in snags on lost tackle requiring a trip out in the boat and the second a hookpull at the net, I saw a show that lead me to believe a rather large catfish was in the swim, did some work around the lake rods back out at sunset, and once again a blistering take this time hooking and successful landing a horrible, huge catfish with 2 of my hooklengths in its huge mouth, bottomed the 60lb Ruebens and I'd say 7-8 foot long using retainer floats as a rough guide. So after all that maybe it's all been a catfish all along.. Thanks for a lot you're replies once again H
