28lb 8oz Common and how to catch a Pike without a Rod

Well it's another lovely day here in Cumbria!

The forecast is looking good for the next week too.

As usual many of our guests were loath to leave us, especially Jamie who told me about his cracking 28lb 8oz Common - the biggest we had out last week.

Another angler Paul from Rochdale had a remarkable fishy tale for us as he left too - he managed to land himself a lovely hen Pike, using only his landing net.

He was quietly minding his own business fishing from his private peg by the Cottage, when Mrs Esox decided to settle herself right beside the bank. Trying to spook her out of the swim using his landing net, the Pike got herself a bit confused and swam into the net!

Dad's 18lber from last night

Out fished by Dad again last night when he landed an 18lber and a lovely pretty Ghostie almost straight after!
I made myself useful as amateur camera man though!

To watch Dad land the 18lb that put up a cracking fight (listen to his centre pin going!)  click on the video below:

First Fish as an Official "Vitin'ry"!

After my graduation and graduation ball this week I was happy to come home properly today.

Without having to worry about exams, cases or placement organising etc I feel like I'm 100% home body and soul for the first time in 5 years!

Of course I had to head out for a little fish with Dad after dinner....

There you have it - my first fish as a sworn, signed, certified official vet and it's a gorgeous red fin well over a pound and a half!

(For the eagle eyed amongst you, no it's not the first fish I've caught in my pajamas and it wont be the last! You might also spot that I'm missing my usual hat, and have gained a new badge on my lapel which was given to us at graduation)

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend and are set to make the most of next weeks good weather!

Over 250lbs of fish in less than a week!

Recent guest Ken, who stayed with us last week just sent us this 
email which I thought I'd share: 
"Paul and Val,
I have just returned home, having spent the last 7days at Lonsdale with
Andy, Gary, Paul and Pauls dad Jim. We all caught fish (well nearly all of us use a lot of fish seemed to "escape" from one of the foundermembers of the CCCC thats cant catch carp club!!) 
I was lucky enough tofish a very "Privilage" peg , to which I had one hell of a good time, Ispent 4 of the 7 nights biveyed up, the fishing was amazing, havingcaught over 250 pound of fish, 
The Highlight has to be the 2-19lbcommons, wow the whole experience was just amazing, i attached some pictures, I hope it gives you as much pleasure looking at them, as it did me to catch them. Thanks again Paul for a fantastic week atLonsdale, one that will be remembered for a long time.

ken t 
p.s Special thanks must go to the gruesome twosome for entertainment
value over the week (That's Gary and Andy, who were up until the lastday founder members of CCCC club!!) 
Sorry Guys....." 

Thanks for the email Ken! 
As you can tell they had a cracking time!Having stayed with us before, the boys knew about the huge bags of fish that come from Lonsdale Lake in particular, 
but hadn't experienced the magic themselves... until now that is!
The fish fell to our Lonsdale Secret Recipe boilies - which are proving so popular with fish and anglers alike that Dad's having to ration guests who are leaving wanting to take them home, to make sure we have plenty for the next week's arrivals!
