Mark & J.J. strike again

Hi Paul, Val
 
Just wanted to say a big thank you from myself, JJ and his wife Siggi.
Thought I would share a few pictures of results of our holiday there at the end of June.
 
As always when I arrive there is always a turn for the worse with the weather and yes the fish were feeding like mad the week before. (always the way!)
JJ as always on his once a year fishing escapade from Germany was about to explode with excitement when we arrived and on his first day was catching eels on a float fished pellet near the surface for roach and then went on to catch another on a pop-up on the surface,which I have never seen done before.
After that the change in the weather put a halt to the carp feeding on the bottom so I moved JJ and I over to mostly fishing on the top and with Z rigs. A couple of carp were had on your new Snail and Frankfurter boillies but we mostly caught all the carp on top or mid water.
The end results was JJ having 15 carp with a new PB with a lovely 23lb common and the biggest fish of the week (shear luck since he can’t even tie on his own hook!), whilst I managed to bag 36 carp with the biggest a little over 19lb. Not bad since few others were catching any carp at all.
Anyway just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone and I’m looking forward to getting back soon.
 
Take care
