Straight into one…..
Not too long after positioning his bait, Terry, who’s fishing out of Cedar’s Lodge with his Wife, is straight into one of our awesome commons.
This superb specimen weighed in at 29lb 8oz and is looking mighty fine in the spring sunshine.
Great angling skills Terry, well in mate👏👏👏👍👌
Early morning Roll call….
A nice 4am alarm call for Ryan, who’s fishing out of Sadie’s Lodge with his partner, resulting in this cracking common.
Looking immaculate and weighing in at 24lb 9oz, well worth getting out of bed for.
Well in Ryan, excellent angling skills mate👏👏👏👌👍
We selected well…..
If I’m honest, and not being biased, I’ve got to say both myself and Caleb chose well when we selected the carp we wanted to keep from our breeding program.
We selected around 15 small carp which we believed would be worthy to augment our extremely impressive head of big carp in our main lake, The Mead. All these carp were chosen for structure, size, scale pattern and genetics and they are not disappointing in any shape or form.
Here’s John, fishing out of Willows Lodge with his now, full time photographer and wife Lucy, with yet another superb and immaculate carp. This one being one of our stockies but nonetheless beautiful and welcome.
Once again John, superb angling skills and very much well deserved mate, superb!!👏👏👏😁👍
Bar Of Gold!!!!…..
Boom!!! And just like that, carp number 3 in less than 8hrs. This time, an absolute pristine common, looking glorious in the late spring, afternoon sunshine.
This beauty is John’s 3rd carp today, following his 35lb+ and 32lb+ earlier today. Weighing in at 27lb 4oz and fishing out of Willows Lodge with his wife Lucy, this cracker is making a big impression on a very memorable session for John.
Well deserved mate and great angling skills, always watching and always working, a much deserved catch👏👏👏👏👏😁👍
A Brace of 30’s!!!….
Even with high pressure, cold nights and frosty, spring mornings, there’s no stopping John. Fishing out of Willows Lodge with his wife Lucy, now the renowned ‘photographer’ of John’s fish, here he is again, an hour after landing a 35lb+, with yet another Mead 30. Looking pristine, this mirror went 32lb 8oz and is looking superb, giving John a Brace of 30’s in 90 minutes. Hopefully, the many big girls residing in The Mead are starting to wake up and have a feed.
Superb angling John, well done mate👏👏👏👏👏😁👍
