A monster catfish from Rouge!

Rouge

Despite having fish rolling and bubbling constantly around their baits, the two anglers on Rouge were struggling to get many pick-ups from swims 1 and 2, so a move behind the island seemed like a good idea, and boy did it pay off in style! Jason, who has previously had 80lb Cats from Bleu, banked a colossal cat that drew the scales round to 95lbs before ripping his sling! Settling at a weight of 95lb, even though the fish was probably heavier, Jay then went on to bank a 35lb Carp.

Despite these two fish, both anglers felt that the lake had gotten the better of them slightly this year, and as a result have booked up two weeks next august to enact their revenge!



Well done to Brad on his first Catfish too:




P.s. Yvonne, please buy Jason a better camera for Christmas...! :-)

Bleu

Our intrepid young anglers endured a foul storm and some surprisingly chilly nights to bank over 20 fish between them. Amongst a mainly Carp haul, both managed fish in excess of 20lbs and went away happy with what they had caught - though i'm sure they'll be back one day to get amongst those bigger fish :-)



P.s. Let these photos serve a notice to all the doubters here - i told you my hair was cool, all the kids are doing it! ;-)

Thanks to both parties for being such great guests and both leaving the lakes spotless.
