Mark & Brian outfish the Osprey


Hi Paul Val and Emma
Just a quick note to let you know the totals of fish from Brian and my 2 week trip this last two weeks.
Brian caught a total of 12 carp weighing a total of 124 pounds and 6 tench
I caught a total of 43 carp weighing a total of 472 pounds. (biggest was a lovely 24 pound common)
Some pictures attached as discussed and also a pictutre of the Osprey diving into the water. (Thank fully it missed the fish you see flying)
As always your guidance works and as you said 'If you feed them, they will come'
Many thanks for a lovely time and we didn't let the weather dampen our fishing.

Lucky Lucius...

This Friday saw Den Holding end his holiday memorably, whilst plumbing the depth of his roach swim when his line took off.
A rather irrate Pike proceeded to test his float gear by tail walking and putting on a display in the centre of the lake, Den went on to land a beautiful 22 pounder.
On landing the fish it was discovered it had actually taken the plummettwhich had then wedged in its scissors!
Esox has been starting to show ahead of the autumn, with Mr. Millington also landing a double figure specimen this week.

With Autumn still a little way off it seems like this year might be a cracker when it comes to our top predators!

PS:
Come September 18th I'll be running the BUPA Great North Run half marathon for The British Heart Foundation. I decided to run after my Uncle had a heart attack and had to have an extensive heart operation, so I figured if I should be keeping myself healthy, and at the same time help the BHF who help so many people affected by heart disease.
I'd just like to take the opportunity to thank those who have already sponsored me, and for anyone else who'd like to support me, you can safely and securely sponsor me at my Just giving page: http://www.justgiving.com/Drinkall-GNR
I'm sure we'll let you know how I get on!
Thankyou!
Emma
