And then the wheels came off !!

We had just Keith and 3 friends this week and with over 60 carp the previous week and weather set fine we all expected things to be pretty hectic. How wrong can you be ?? We have just experienced our joint worst week ever with just 15 fish banked between the lads and to top…

Another week ends.

Well, we come to the end of another week and are as mystified as ever as to the workings of a carps mind. With weather changing from bright and sunny with strong cold winds we have been through a mixture of rain, more rain and finally a misty dawn and clear sunny sky’s for the…

A few more from this week.

A Couple more crackers for Simon. And a couple more from Craig. Arnie and few of his catch. Steve and some of his carp. Terry and a 38lb mirror and his new pb at a little over 40lb. And finally Doug and a couple of his fish.

Rain at Last !!

After a week of cold north easterly winds the rain arrived tuesday night and has continued through to this evening when the sky cleared and a thick mist shrouded the lake. I have just been out to see the lads and there is not a breath of wind and visibility is down to a few…

A cold, cold wind !!

The lads that arrived on saturday were greeted by a very strong cold north easterly wind and clear bright conditions…….just about as bad as you can get at this time of year so I was less than optimistic about fishing prospects for the days ahead. Well, the lads have actually done quite well so far…

Another good week comes to a close.

Once again we have finished a week with a good tally of fish despite the feeling that conditions were far from perfect and the fishing was patchy at times. With a total catch of 82 carp the lads did very well with the added bonus of 5 cracking 40’s being banked during the week. Total…

A few more pictures from this week.

A couple of crackers !!!

With 65 fish to date you would imagine that its been a pretty good all round session……unfortunately it has not. Several of the anglers have done extremely well whilst others in well fancied swims have struggled to put more than a few fish on the bank. Having said that everyone has caught and in some…

Monday morning update…….and 3 new 40’s to report !!!

Its not been hectic but with 22 fish out so far the real feature has been the sheer quality of the catches. For example Rob.(better known as Dr.Death) has had just 6 carp but they have been 42.13, 33.13, 31, 27.6, 27.5, and 20lb’s. His friend Chris has also had 6 carp with two x…

Cool, Cooler, blxxdy cold !!!

What a change in conditions we have seen this week. The lads have ‘enjoyed’ hot sunshine, cold winds, rain and a touch of sleet and still came up smiling every morning !!! Thats carp fishing !!! Fishing was not easy and I feel that the total catch of 56 carp was a real achivement in…
