Shurdy bags 2 PBs in the space of 30 minutes

He was just telling us his pb catfish was 26lbs and one of his rods screamed off on the Big Double swim. This fish took practically half the line off his spool! After 20 minutes it was on the bank weighing 33lbs and a new pb!

Shurdy wasn't finished though, his left-hand rod then subtley let off a few blips, he hit it and 5 minutes later he had his pb Mirror on the bank weighing 27lbs.

Nice one Shurdy!

Mike Chisholm Snr smashes his pb Catfish

In super hot conditions Chizzy get his PB Catfish at 36lbs caught from the Roadside swim. His previous best was under 25lbs. It put up a collossal scrap and gave Chiz a well earned cause for celebration!

It's been hot here this week not without rain. A thunderstorm hit early yesterday evening and had us all running for cover!

Year best Grass Carp at 32lb

Check out this fantastic 32lb Grass Carp caught on the Double Island swim by Chris Lusby in Week 7 2008. Biggest Grassy of the year caught on a single popup off the corner of the island. It fought for 20 minutes and, as usual with Grassies, went a bit mental on the bank! Nice one Chris!

Week 6 2008 - Swifty and Co bag 56 fish

Swifty, Andy, Paul, Jem and John bag 40 carp and 16 Catfish between them including a good head of 30s. Paul Webb had a monster Cat out at 52lbs and probably the prettiest fish was Swifty's 32.6 Mirror caught from the Roadside swim shown here. Numerous pbs were broken, this late springtime weather has been great for fishing and the lake baits seem to be doing the business at the end of the rigs.
