went to Bluewater Lakes last week and caught a new pb for myself in the shape of this 56lb mirror. the kronenbourg flowed afterwards

also had this one at 45lb 04oz

well a year has past more or less since i started this thread and ive just got back from this years trip to bluewater lake. i managed 6 fish in total. the biggest 48lb on the button.

good question mr newmarket. what i do is set a target for myself and once its achieved i set another. in my fishing in england im on a few syndicates that hold some big fish. so when i hopefully bank one im straight onto the next biggun in that lake. ive been on one of my syndicates on and off for 10yrs now and there are 2 main targets left me but they are not the be all and aend all. its all about enjoying myself at the end of the day. as for fishing in france its the same. ive caught that 56lb mirror and next id like a 60lb carp. obviously you need that size of fish in the lake to achieve that target. bluewater lakes holds around 8x60's, 20 or more 50's and as for 40's and 30's even the owner dont know as there are that many so my targets are achievable in time but most importantly i dont put pressure on myself to achieve them, if they are achieved then all is good but if not i wont have sleepless nights. up until the last 4 or 5 yrs fishing was the most important thing in the world to me, but in the last 4 or 5 yrs i feel ive relaxed more and now mix fishing with a weekend out with mates or family etc and ive got a good blend which i feel makes me angle better.

More likely to hang myself

also had this 43lb mirror. they were part of a 9 fish catch.
