Catch Report |
| 21st - 28th of June 2008 |
Last week in June and the hot weather has arrived! It was muggy, good and bad at the same time because it slowed down the fishing for the week hence only 28 fish caught out of 40 runs. We had a party of 9 anglers and they banked 5 doubles, 14 x 20's, 4 x 30's, 4 x 40's up to 46lb and one fifty - 50 3/4lb. Well done for their effort and the fact that they didn't give it up until the last moment! |
| 14th - 21st of June 2008 |
We were more than pleased to see some fishermen bringing along their wifes. They hired the chalet so the ladies could have some comfort while the men were trying their luck on the big lake. It was a good week altogether with 74 fish caught out 90 runs. The total for the week - 18 doubles, 27 x 20's, 15 x 30's, 10 x 40's up to 49 1/2lb and two fifties - 51 3/4lb & 52 3/4lb. Not to forget, 2 catfish, 15lb and 30lb. The best catch of the week, Steve Pie, with 15 carp up to 45lb. |
| 7th - 14th of June 2008 |
"Fantastic week! Cannot beat fish, company, food, advice and entertainment. Advice priceless! Love this place, will be back again." This is what one of our guests, Dozer Aylott, wrote in our comments book. Dozer and his friends came a few times in the past and this June as well. They banked 66 fish and lost 6 - 12 doubles, 24 x20's, 23 x 30's, 5 x 40's up to 49 3/4lb, one fifty - 53lb and a catfish of 65lb. Top rod of the week, Jim 'Jimbo' Browne with 13 carp under his belt - 15lb, 16lb, 19lb, 19 1/2lb, 20lb, 2 x 24lb, 29 3/4lb, 2 x 30 1/2lb, 37 1/2lb, 49 3/4lb & 53lb!! Well done to all of them! |

Going into the summer our place still busy, as in May, has welcomed again 10 anglers. They put all their ability and bait into it and came up with a tally of 71 fish of different sizes as follows - 27 doubles, 21 x 20's, 8 x 30's, 8 x 40's and 6 cats. The best catch of the week, Jarek, with 17 carp up to 44lb! |
| 24th - 31st of May 2008 |
Like last year we have had a lot of exclusive bookings, many of them repeated customers which pleases us very much, plus they already know how we run our venue. This time 9 people graced our big lake and out of 82 runs they managed 67 fish - 17 doubles, 19 twenties, 22 thirties, 8 forties up to 49 3/4lb and a 50 1/2lb. The weather still up and down but everybody has had an excellent week with good banter! |
| 17th - 24th of May 2008 |
Another exclusive booking for a party of 10 anglers. The total number of fish that came out 80 - 25 doubles, 27 x 20's, 13 x 30's, 14 x 40's up to 46 3/4lb and a 20lb catfish. For everyone this was the first trip to our place and they seemed to have enjoyed it. The best angler of the week was Easty with 22 fish - " A top week at a top venue. 22 fish with a French PB of 46lb 1oz. Big thank you to John and Ben for all the help and advice. See you next year." We are very glad when we have new visitors as much as repeated guests. What matters is people having a good time and taking care of our fish. |
| 10th - 17th of May 2008 |
Mid May and at our venue things got busier. We had seven people visiting us, some of them repeted guests. John and Ben put their effort in as well and all of them were able to land 104 fish out of 119 runs. The weather stayed warm, the fish seemed to have woken up and some of them started even spawning. All around a very good week with an excellent tally for Ali with 33 fish. Keith Hayward had also a nice catch with 12 carp, 3 x 40's up to 43 1/2lb and Steve Munday, the biggest carp of the week - 55 3/4lb!! Also not to forget Johnny Hof that landed 25 fish in 12 hours, 4 of them being 40lb, the biggest 49 1/2lb. |
| 3rd - 10th of May 2008 |
Well, this was the beginning of a very good and rewarding week. 8 lads coming together, most of them have been here before and another little party of two. Plus, we did have a couple of anglers on the little lake fishing exclusively for catfish for a long week-end. The weather just started to turn with very hot days and fish feeding mainly at night. Most of the fish were caught in the margin area. In total they banked 62 carp - 18 doubles, 26 twenties, 11 thirties, 6 forties up to 47 1/4lb and a fifty - 51 1/2lb and of course 4 catfish - 2 x 25lb, 78lb and a stunning 86 3/4lb managed by John Paul. Well done to all of them! |
| 26th April - 3rd of May 2008 |
Beginning of May marks our peak season and from now on the big lake is fully booked until October. But the weather hasn't improved, very hot week-end, after, Tuesday and Wednesday, cold nights and heavy rain chilling the water followed by very hot days again. We've had a big party of 10 people that booked the whole lake. In total they managed 52 fish - 18 doubles, 11 twenties, 15 thirties, 6 forties up to 47lb and two catfish up 72lb, all caught early in the week while the weather was still settled. Tony Burgin, one of our well known guests, had the best catch with 18 fish up to 42 3/4. |

| 5th - 12th of April 2008 |
April brought some "old" guests of ours who took along some new people to fish our venue. 4 anglers on the lake and 20 carp out plus 3 other caught by Ben. The tally for the week - 7 doubles, 5 twenties, 8 thirties, 44lb, 47lb and 51 1/2lb. A new PB for Mark and we were very pleased with his catch. |
| 22nd - 29th of March 2008 |
As we said before, the beginning of a new season, all of us anxious as well as our guests. This particular week we've had 5 anglers on the big lake and a modest catch between them, only 12 fish - 2 x 18lb, 23lb, 24lb, 27lb, 28lb, 2 x 30lb, 31lb, 38lb, 41lb & 46lb. During the week we had some snow which of course slowed down the action. |
| Season 2008 |
Well, after a slower start and the weather being up and down with a lot of cold days in March and April, we could say our season has really begun! We would like to thank all our faithful guests that keep returning and love our fish and of course a warm welcome to all the new ones that want to give us a try. To all of you - TIGHT LINES! |
