Hi Paul & Val, hope you are well just getting in touch to let
you know how we got on during our most recent weeks stay, and have
included a few catch pics as well.
In total
between the 3 of us, we landed around 50 carp, most of which were in the
6-12lb bracket with Dad landing the biggest a common of 19lb.
The
fishing was a little slow to start with on the carp front, but
progressed steadily as the week went on, with most bites coming through
the hours of darkness into early morning.
As
usual all carp came using an assortment of your Lonsdale boilies, each
flavour proving to be equally effective as the other, with either a 2-3
bait stringer or mesh bag of your krill pellet attached,and a spray of
the parti- mix or hemp you recommended over the top.
When
the carp weren't on the much we all enjoyed float fishing for roach,
and what quality roach they were too, I don't think we had many under
half a pound, if any at all, and I lost count of the number of 1lb - 2lb
fish we had.
As usual we had a few surprises
along the way, banking some huge gudgeon a real rarity for us, and Dad
even managed to land one of the several pike that kept trying to nab his
roach on the way in.
All in all, a fairly
productive and thoroughly enjoyable week' as ever, many thanks for
accommodating us at such short notice, look forward to seeing you next
year, thanks again,
