It's been an eventful month of fishing. After our first big spawning of the season our regular crew had some perfectly timed cooler weather and plenty of rain. Good conditions to get back into the action after the tricky fishing the previous week.
The lads know the lake well and caught a good number of fish to over 52lb. Weights down a little but still several others over 40lb caught to 49lb. Matt adding another 50 to his list of catches, like buses they are.
40 runs resulting in 35 landed, not hectic stuff but good steady fishing for the lads and a good feed up for the fish after the rituals.
Following that we had a new group of lads on the lake. With a bigger group it can be a little slower at times but the lads all fished really well and as a result all landed a good few fish. Top rod for the week catching 17 fish from the left side of the island swim. But the oaks and the social swim did produce a good number of fish.
A good result had for the group with everyone catching a few and a couple of 50's in there too.
Around 56 fish where caught between them.
Following that we had our regular crew over last week. And as always they did a good job of winkling a few out with some cracking fish and fifties all round to 54lb. Highlight was Oscar catching his new pb the 'snub nosed common' at 51lb. This fish hasn't been out for a few seasons, so even more special. Well done young man. Our man in the island had a bit of a struggle getting into them, but had had a few up to Friday night. But we always say persistence pays off and on his last night had his reward with a new pb common over the 50lb mark. It was actually the snub nosed again. So she made two anglers week. We probably won't see her again for a couple of years. Altogether the lads caught 33 fish.
Then at the beginning of this week the weather got ridiculously hot, far from ideal fishing conditions and another batch of fish decided to spawn. So it's been another tough week. But a few fish have been caught and we're hoping for a flurry on the last night 🤞
