A mid week change.

It’s Tuesday morning and the sunny days of the weekend have been replaced by cloudy, showery conditions with temperatures due to drop by 4 or 5 degree’s. It will be interesting to see how the change in the weather influences the carps activities but I am hoping that it will kick start some of our…

A brace of 50’s for Darren.

I have just been watching Darren land a 54lb 12oz pb mirror after a really long, tough fight. Taking to the water to better play the fish Darren finally managed to stop shaking enough to see that the mirror carp just beat his pb that was set overnight with a 54lb fish. A great start…

An exceptional week.

A quiet last night saw just a couple of mid 40’s added to the bag (complements of Martin) leaving us with a fabulous total of 66 carp and a 62lb sturgeon. Best of all was the sheer quality of the catch with 4 carp of over 60lb and another 13 over 50lb included in the…

On the eve of the completion of an exceptional week.

It is Friday night and today’s warm sunshine has given way the chill of another cold night. A feature this week has been the constant sunshine that would only give of its warmth when you were nicely tucked up away from the wind. Nights have been very cold indeed with a frost by dawn and…

Now that’s a cracker !!

Despite the temperature dropping to below zero last night we still saw some nice fish being banked. Top fish of the week was landed by Stephen in the form of a stunning common of 67lb 4oz (picture below). There were also 4 more high 40’s landed along with 3 other carp, with the extremes of…

Mid week update.

It is Tuesday evening and we are suffering from bright sunshine accompanied by a really brisk, cold north wind. The fishing has suffered and we have only seen one mid 30 banked since breakfast so hopefully there will be one or two added to the tally before morning. The total catch up to now is…

A good start to the week.

The week has started in fine style and lads have already bagged 8 carp by breakfast time. Brian had a 54lb 12oz mirror as well as another of 44lb 12oz and Steve banked a brace of mirrors also at 50lb 4oz and 41lb. Martin also had a trio of nice mirrors at 46lb 12oz, 42lb 8oz…

Another good week.

Despite the smaller fish partaking in some half hearted spawning we have enjoyed another productive week with the Wolverhampton lads banking 34 carp. As ever the condition of the fish was superb and all the lads reported some long dogged fights before the net was placed under them. Best of the week was the cracking…

A chilly North Wind.

I have just been round the lake and must confess that it felt a good bit chillier than yesterday. The sun is still shining but a cold North wind is certainly damping down the temperature however we still have some spawning taking place in the shallows so hopefully the conditions will remain suitable for the…

Mid April and all is well !

I have just returned from my UK visit to find that the lake is fishing well, the tree’s out now in leaf and the swallows are feeding everywhere. To top it all the cuckoo’s and nightingales are serenading from dawn to dusk and in the case of the latter, all night long. Happy days indeed….
