    August '22 Catch Reports

    An afternoon at the lake and a better fish to show for it. Alas, no pictures, but I did get a short video in the net - https://photos.app.goo.gl/XjBjMgxd3YiJ3uhR9 The fish wrapped up solid in weed, so I set the rod down until he kicked free. He came in with a cowl of Canadian, and plenty of energy left! So much he was thrashing about and I had to pop him back for fear of harm. Pva bag with groundbait, mixed pellets doused in fish hydro, and a home rolled Infrared fishmeal boilie. The scent when rolled reminds me of Activ-8. The scales gave me 18lb 9oz. 🎣😁

  4. http://www.carpbooks.co.uk/ I read The Black Mirror Cult and thoroughly enjoyed it. A bit different from the first series as it's more of a "who is it" rather than an out and out fishing yarn. The good news is that a new book is coming out soon, The Italians Job. I'll be getting it!

    In other news our other local lake, the bigger if the two, had a fish out at 47lbs last week! I was told by two separate, and reliable people. It's entirely possible that one of the two forties in the lake will break the magical 50lbs this year. Obviously I am now on a mission! This lake has always been my nemesis, having yet to give me a single fish as yet. No small task then. Nonetheless, roll on Saturday 🎣🎣

  6. I bought all the first 7 about 3 months ago and have nearly finished them and can't recommend them enough. Plenty of good fishing stories with the authors spin on topical subjects that inject a real sense of humour. I don't think that wokeism is coming to the Cunnington household any time soon! The only problem is that to get my Matt and Rambo fix, I'm going to have to buy the sequel book The Black Mirror Cult as well.
