More Autumn Glory at Lonsdale

Paul Lawrie came to Lonsdale for his 3rd trip this year with his friends Bill and Pat; they had another great stay with plenty of Carp up to 19lbs mostly taken early morning on our Lonsdale frankfurter and snail boilies, but the highlight of the trip for Paul had to be his personal best ghost carp at 18 3/4lbs.

Other carp anglers stoping at the park this week Todd and Chris Platt came to celebrate Chris's 50th birthday (having previously celebrated his 40th birthday at Lonsdale), both had plenty of carp plus a bonus 5lb 3oz tench; but the most remarkable catch considering the time of year was taken by Chris's dad Todd when he landed 2 pristine grass carp within 5 minutes of each other taken on the Lonsdale tropical fruit freezer boilies. 

Supply and Demand

We're currently awaiting a catch report and photos from a guest to submit to Clint over at Carp Talk, but as with all things in the press you're working to a deadline!
So with high demand, Matt found it only too easy to supply for us in the meantime he fished for about two and half hours over dusk last night and just before breakfast this morning and had seven fish upto about 20lb (we weighed the pictured night time beauty at 17lb last night, but not the bigger ones this morning):

Meanwhile guests Bill, Paul and the boys have started their holiday off with a 20, a 15, a 13 1/2 and several smaller fish last night alone! They're fishing with more modern gear than Matt along the bank of Lonsdale opposite the cottages.

We had our first light frost last week and it's really helped show the Gold Scales as well as the Gold leaves of Autumn!

Roy & Gina's Break

What a break!

I stupidly broke my ankle 3 weeks before we were due to start our 16^th consecutive fortnight in June at Lonsdale Park and after much deliberation we decided to cancel.  We were almost as upset about this as having to break the news to fellow Lonsdale Park veterans Colin & Wendy, as we’d arranged to meet up again this year.  We’d been getting reports from Colin & Wendy of how well it was fishing in our absence. 

Paul & Val very kindly re-accommodated us for two weeks commencing 13/9/2014 instead.  At last, September arrived & we set off for a fortnight of relaxation by the lakes on the tranquil Lonsdale Park estate to catch fish and enjoy the wildlife; Gina saw a Kingfisher flying around Lonsdale Lake, which was a real treat as she’d never seen one before, she was lucky enough to see it twice more while we were there.  As pleasure anglers we only fish during the day and started late most days as we kept lying in!  The fishing seemed to be as good as it is in June even if though it was a bit harder to get the Roach going, but it was nice to catch a few Gudgeon.

Here is a selection of Gina’s fish.  All but the 12lber were all caught close using a light feeder rod & reel with 6lb line with a small method feeder filled with method mix & 6mm banded pellet on size 16 hook.  She had a few hours on my carp rod and just as Paul arrived in his Land Rover for a chat the buzzer went and she was on it in a flash.
