Catch results 24/05/08I'm still struggling with pictures, but the updates are piling up now, and I'm sure you're all keen to know how the lakes are fishing - so here goes (I'll add in pictures as and when I can):
Rouge Kevin, Terry and Liam all fished from the double swim (1 & 2)and all used the same bait and rigs, yet the majority of fish fell to one angler's rods. Terry was fishing to the dam wall and picked up an incredible 50 fish during the course of the week, of which 44 were carp. Included in this monumental haul were two thirties, countless twenties and one of the two grass carp in the lake.
Here's the one photo i have that wasn't lost to the big Apple in the sky (as i'm now refering to my old Macbook):
VertBoth Kevin and young Liam managed a few fish from Rouge, but it seemed as if the entire stock of the lake was hemmed into one corner, so by friday they were ready to take up our offer of a crack at Vert. As ever the lake didn't disappoint and Liam had a superb afternoon. I think his total for the afternoon ran into double figures, topped by a fish known as 'Big 'ed' at 26lbs and another two twenty pound plus carp. Vert really is a lake on form this season, producing twenties every week.
BleuFive anglers came for their bi-annual social on Bleu and had a reall ball depsite a wet start to the week. The biggest two carp of the week fell to John and John Jnr, at 28lbs 4oz and 28lbs 6oz respectively, meaning that, in keeping with our company logo, it was Johnny Jnr who walked away with the prize for the biggest carp of the week!Between the two of them they banked 27 fish, including, notably, a 20lb 4oz Mirror from Vert on a size 20 hook that fancied the single maggot intended for catching livebait.
All the other anglers caught consistently throughout the week, and a grand time was had by all. Thanks guys! (if you have any pictures, please send them over to info@exclusiveanglingholidays.com)
