CATCH REPORTS
Olivemead lake
The Mead is a very pretty 3 acre carp venue having 4 lodge swims and holding more than 100 x 20lb+, 50 x 30lb+ and 6 x 40lb+ carp with the lake rec being 47.2oz.
Today was a good day….
Whilst we are now closed until mid February, both myself and my manager/son, Caleb, can get on the lake and sort out the bottom tier of decking for our new lodge, OAK LODGE, it’s going to be pretty big.
It’s hard to get posts into 5ft of water using just a tiny boat, so we had the brain wave of using one of our trestles as a platform to fix our scaffold boards to and construct a platform to then use to construct another platform which will be the new bottom tier of decking for the the new OAK LODGE🤔 You’ve got to use ingenuity in these situations🤷♂️…….We’re experiencing minus temps, there’s ice on parts of the lake and I think the younger of the 2 of us should knock the posts in of our newly constructed platform🤪🤪 I’ll keep you all posted on how we get on😁🎣🎣
💥Winter Madness on The Mead💥
The last 4 nights on The Mead have been pretty hectic and rewarding to say the least.
We’ve had minus 6 temperatures, high pressure, snow, wind and heavy rain. Winter fishing conditions that you wouldn’t consider favourable.
However, the last 4 nights has seen 3 good 30’s, to over 39lb, grace the bank and 3 decent mid to upper 20’s up to 27lb+.
Not too shabby for winter carping.
Well done to all the anglers, a session you won’t forget in a hurry 👏👏😁👍
The Mead is on🔥🔥
It’s a 30’s kinda Week…
Josh, who fished out of Sadies Lodge, winkled himself a mid 30 out in pretty rubbish conditions.
Winter fishing can be hard and with the minus temperatures, snow, rain and cold winds we’ve had it hasn’t got any easier but Josh persevered and was rewarded with this stunning 35lb+ mirror. You’ve got to be in it to win it👊
Great result Josh and great angling skills too mate, well done👏👏👏😁👍
What a session!!!….
Winter carping doesn’t really get much better than this.
2 new p.b’s, a brace of 30’s up to 39lb+ and to finish off the session, Shannon, who fished with her partner out of Willow’s Lodge, had this pristine winter mirror early hours of this morning which took the needle on the scales around to 26lb on the nose👊 what a way to finish.
Well done Shannon, excellent angling skills👏👏👏😁👍
Winter madness….
Not to be outdone by his partner, here’s Marcus fishing out of Willows Lodge, with another stunning mirror.
Not quite as heavy as Shannon’s mirror, this beauty tipped the scales at 26lb 10oz but you can’t take anything away from this duo. It’s minus 6, winter, frosty and high pressure but between them they’ve had 4 stunning carp, 2 x mid to upper 20’s and 2 good 30’s, superb.
Well in Marcus, great angling skills mate👏👏👏😁👍
