An up and down week...Rouge For the first week of the year, Rouge was not booked up - which gave me and Dad the chance to have a little go! Fishing on Sunday afternoon, Megan and I managed a nice 15lb 4oz Carp from the stalking swim on a tiny piece of tutti frutti boilie cast into the lilies.
John then fished two evenings from the double swim to bag 8 Catfish to 38lbs. I returned on wednesday night to bag this stunning 34lb 14oz Carp on floating dog biscuits - again from the stalking swim. Early the following morning i also had two smaller Carp, one on fake corn and the other on a 'washed out' Biopeche boilie.
Vert Three anglers had a Catfish bonanza on Vert, bagging
3 separate 40lb+ Catfish, 5 30lb+ fish and countless smaller specimens. Despite suffering problems with breakages early on in the week, the boys beefed up their tackle and set about some serious hauling. Targetting the Catfish with our large halibut and trout pellets, Vert really provided some superb sport - well done guys!
Bleu2 first-time Exclusive Angling Holidays customers fished Bleu solidly throughout the week and were rewarded with new PBs all round. The biggest fish of the week was a 50lb 8oz Catfish taken on our 'Catbuster' tackle hire package. This was a new PB by a good 30lbs! Carp-wise, the guys banked specimens to 28lbs in difficult conditions following the up and down weather of the past few weeks. We look forward to seeing you again guys (and girls) and thank you for leaving everything in such great condition when you left!
