Catch a last minute break as the fishing improves!

Hey guys,

Just a quick update:

We have a cottage available for next week due to unforseen circumstances so if you fancy a last minute break give us a ring on: 07770825896.
The weather and the fishing is gradually improving - with Mr. Kirby landing a 16lb 3oz carp this week, and Mr Douthwaite catching a few tench upto the 5 1/2lb stamp and plenty of roach. FIngers crossed for some of that promised BBQ summer sun a little early this year!

Tight lines,

Em

Fishing in the News

Hey guys,

Just a quick note as I've spotted this week has been quite a popular one for fishing stories hitting the news and thought you might be interested.

First the BBC informed me that a 'killer pike' was being removed from a Cornish duck pond - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/8570815.stm is the link to the full story.

Then I spotted a minor article about the Close season starting.

Next Yahoo popped up with a story of fisherman who were over heard singing sea shanties in a pub and have been signed over to a record label - http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100318/ten-singing-fishermen-land-a-whopper-of-a56114e.html

See you all soon

Ken turns Pikey!!!

Ken, one of our regular visitors decided on this trip he would have a go for Pike, as he had never fished for them before.

Needless to say Ken is "hooked"

On his first attempt he landed a superb 14lb specimen (photos to follow)
The following day he decided to go back to his beloved Roach which resulted in the best fish being 1 1/2lb. specimen.

The next few days Pike were back on the menu. Ken went on to catch a further 9 fish the best one being 11 lb.

On his previous visit Ken earned the right to have his name on a peg having had his PB Carp and strangely enough most of his pike came from this same peg - but he can't have his name on it twice!

Ken left a Pike Angler, looking forward to his next week with us in May.

Well Done Ken!!
