A Passion for angling

Well as promised here's the second half of Paul Wood's story!

Paul stayed and fished with us for two weeks, mainly fishing during the daylight hours.
In the end he had 62 'good' fish, which gave a total weight well over 700lbs!
In fact almost everytime Dad or Julian went past Paul seemed to land a fish - you can see he even had 'the boss' acting as gillie! In fact Dad was so impressed he decided to award Paul a signed copy of 'A Passion for Angling'

Had Paul decided to fish through the nights, he might of topped our previous reported record of over 1200lbs of carp in a 2 week stay by regular Colin Chambers.

Of course other anglers have been enjoying the fishing this week too, for example Warren who had 21 good Carp in the week.

PS: I know there are a couple of photo's in this post that were in the previous one, but when there's this many pics to try and remember, I hope you can forgive me!

Touch Wood

Paul Woods is stopping with us again, and I'm sure many of you have gotten to know this friendly chap over the last 15 years.
But do you know he has topped his PB every year for the last 15 years?
He's here for 2 weeks, and is half way through his stay, with 30 good Carp so far.
His favourite being a 21lb 10oz Grass Carp which is another PB!

He's kindly given me his photo's for the blog (though I have to be quick with his card because he knows he'll need again soon!), and with a week left I'm glad I can write it up his catches in 2 posts!

Paul also keeps a fishing diary (like me) Where he can record, date, location, weather, baits, and of course catches. A good idea and a treasure trove for future years!
