A good ending to week 12

With conditions improving as the weeek progressed we saw more and more good fish being banked. The lads learned quickly and using crab boilies over big beds of pellet managed to amass a catch of 53 fish including a 55lb catfish, a 44lb common and a 40lb mirror. Considering the slow start to the week the total to the 4 Dutch anglers was eventually very good and they are to be congratulated on their efforts. All the lads had new pb’s with Jurien topping the list with catfish at 55lb, common of 44lb and mirror of 37.5lb, Simon had a new pb with a 40lb mirror whilst Renais, who had never caught a carp before arriving here, had a best of 37.3lb. Lambert also had a new mirror pb of 34.1lb.

Spawning seems to have been completed and the fish are looking in good condition with just a few spawning wounds left to heal. All is looking good for the remainder of the season.

Total catch for the week was as follows.

1 x 55lb catfish

1 x 44lb common

1 x 40lb mirror

5 carp between 35 and 40lb

15 carp between 30 and 35lb

9 carp between 25 and 30lb

12 carp between 20 and 25lb

9 x doubles
