McIlwaine Catch Report & Pics.

​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,

                                                                                     Michael, Ryan & Aaron Mcilwaine.

Catch of The Week Tommy Troubles First Fish

Thanks to Allison who sent this excellent picture of Tommy getting his first ever fish this weekend at Lonsdale, as you can see he was chuffed to bits!


He still has a way to go though to catch up with his dad Dave who had a bumper night last night with 8 fish all good doubles at a rate of 1 an hour from 1am to 8am all on our Lonsdale Nutty Nut freezer boilies popped up with some of our fluorescent pop-ups.

Bill Millar along with his son David, and Paul who were on the 7th visit of the year fished on the other side of Lonsdale and took advantage of the fish having just finished spawning, landing over 30 carp between them, most of which were caught on our Lonsdale Tropical Fruit and Peach and Black Pepper freezer boilies over a bed of mixed particle and krill and tuna method mix.
