Mitchell catches more

Peter Mitchell, Dad Charlie, brother Charlie & friend Terry Churchill have been visiting Lonsdale for the past 6 years.

Charlie & Charlie fished on their private peg outside the cottage targeting catching quality roach & tench + a bonus18lb common.


Pete & terry the serious Carp anglers bivvied up on the back of Lonsdale Lake.

Peter's final tally was 75 carp the biggest being 24lb 5ozs. Average weight of around 16lb so had a approx 1,200lbs.

Terry's final total was 35 carp, up to 18lb 8ozs, mnaking a total of circa 1700lbs.

 His claim to fame that was on one of his night sessions (he didn't do as many as Pete) he landed 3 ghost carp one after the other the largest being his 18lb 8oz fish.

Peterput the time in, nearly every night in his bivvy, resulting in his superb catch.

Feeding patterns were 2-4 a.m the first week but as the temperature dropped a little this changed to 6-7p.m.

All fish were caught on either Lonsdale's Peach & Black Pepper or Nutty Nut Boilies.

Pete's rig was a straightforward running carp rig with critically balanced baits.
