Catch report week beginning 21st April

Last week saw plenty of action despite it turning cooler from Wednesday.

David Denny enjoyed roach to 1lb 3/4oz and tench to 5lb, and was reluctant to leave us today, so made arrangements to stay to fish until 4pm. (Unfortunately no we cannot allow this during our main season as we'd be inundated with anglers who never leave!)

John Wilkinson and his son-in law Andy had their usual friendly competition between themselves, John took an early lead with a 15lb common, but was pipped to the post by Andy who landed a 17lber on Thursday. Well done Andy! We'll see you for the match in October (I'm sure John will come out reels blazing)

We also hosted Darren, who visited us all the way from his fish farm in Thailand. Darren landed his personal best Carp with us this week using our new baits (more on that in a minute) which was a little over 17lb. Congratulations Darren, we're sure you'll better that on your next trip!

Our followers on twitter and facebook will already know about the new bait we have this year:

 We've teamed up with a top bait manufacturer to formulate our own range of baits. Basically this means that we're able to offer high quality, rapid break down, low cost baits that are specifically tailored to our waters. We've called them 'Lonsdale's Secret Recipe'.
We have:

• 15mm boilies in Crab and Mussel, White Chocolate and King Blood worm,
• Brown and White Breadcrumb
• PVA friendly particles - Chilli hemp and chick pea, Red and White Maize or Mixed particles
• 3mm and 4.5mm Marine Halibut Carp Pellets

We've also got our bait pre-order servcice sorted, so if you head over to the homepage and them to the facilities or downloads page you'll now find order forms you can use to post or telephone your order, or email.

The email system uses an excel spreadsheet that should automatically work out the cost of your order for you when you change the quanity from 0 (it will also give you subtotals along the way to help you keep an eye on where you want to send your money).

These forms are also helpful for anglers to see just a bit of what we keep regularly in stock and recommend before they get here (and assure new visitors that our site tackle shop is very competatively priced!)
