Is there any other word than just WOW?

SOUTH COAST Stu as we call him! Well done mate 👏.

Another outstanding result from our very own Stu Higgs at White Swan Lake, Dinton Pastures Country Park, with a stunning 40lb+ Mirror ~ Blue Moon.

Having already caught two members of the lake’s A-team in a relatively short space of time, Stu’s confidence in his approach is growing. Small tweaks to the way he has been setting his traps appear to be paying dividends, helping him target the better fish.

Stu feels he has really started to understand where the bigger carp like to feed, and that knowledge has now produced his third A-team member — a fish he was particularly keen to add to the album.

A superb carp and another fantastic result for the ST12-CI’s. 🎣🔥

Blue Moon — 40lbs

Rumour has it the admin has been sulking…

Well what a weekend we all had at our annual staff social!

We managed over 100 carp over the 48 hours and plenty of laughs mixed in with the sound of screaming alarms…

And believe it or not - the table flipped on its head from last year 🤯…

All the lads (minus the admin) fished very well and made it a very tense end - credit to Matty V who actually had 24 fish all to himself!

Ladies and gentlemen we are thrilled (we not including the admin) to announce that Jack & Nick are the new trophy holders 🏆!!!

These lads can’t make the full event this year, but they’ll still be joining us for one night of fishing — and who knows, they might even find themselves tending the BBQ 👀🔥

Jack & Nick (LAST PLACE LAST YEAR)

Well, I’m not sure these two are even worth entering - last years performance was abysmal despite coming out 2nd in the drawer and into a flyer.

Jack has been consistently bad across the last 3 socials but he seems to have something to prove this year, can he come good?

Nick. He came into to the team last year and took to social media swiping at his colleagues claiming he was bringing it home on his debut, safe to say he should’ve stayed at home as he certainly didn’t deliver.
