moorsey Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 We have just completed our fifth week of the 2011 season so, as it also coincides with the end of April, I though it as well to give some catch details of the season so far. The lake has produced the following carp:- 44 twenties 174 thirties 54 forties 9 fifties [50lb 7oz, 52lb 0oz, 52lb 6oz, 52lb 10oz, 53lb 8oz, 54lb 0oz, 54lb 6oz, 56lb 0oz & 56lb 10oz] Since I started trying to type this report we have just seen one of the new anglers bank "The Eighteen" at a new best weight of 55lb 2oz making our tenth fifty of the season.

Guest keenook Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 How many individual 50's Keith? Quote
moorsey Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Posted April 30, 2011 How many individual 50's Keith? 7 different ones mate. Quote
Guest keenook Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Wow That's some stock you have there Keith! Quote
moorsey Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Posted May 1, 2011 Wow That's some stock you have there Keith! Thanks mate. Incredibly, one of our current anglers, Simon Morris has just completed a hat-trick of fifties in less than 30 hours fishing. He has banked "The Eighteen" at 55lb 2oz, "Clover" at 53lb 10oz and "Chunky" at 52lb 2oz. There has also been another huge fish lost at the net by one of the other anglers so the big girls seem to have their hungry heads on today. Keith Quote
beza26 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Tremendous fishing! Whenever i get round to doing france this is where i'll be going for sure Quote
Gaz Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 this is another fishery i MUST visit one day (soon hopefully lol) cracking fishing going on at your Keith Quote
plowmanccfc Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Might be jumping on one of jamies trips next year keith all going to plan so seen you soon dan. Top results keep up the hard work.. Quote
coops_northants Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Incredible, I cant believe i dont have enough time to get out there this year, Im going to miss my trip out to Moorlands with the fish in such fantastic condition and so very big. The pictures of arfur were great, what a stunning fish, breeze block like. Roll on september and october when they huge. Definately one of them will be over 60lb this year, if not a few more Quote
moorsey Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Posted May 4, 2011 Hi Jamie Look forward to seeing you out here again at some time in the future mate. Just to whet your appetite a little more we have just seen Graham Pollard bank "The Pipesmoker" at a new lake common record of 52lb 8oz. Keith Quote
coops_northants Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 No way, that is huge, what an awsome result. That is the longest common i had ever seen so im not supprised at all. If thats 52lb...... how big will the long common be..... some lucky angler may find that out soon. I really want to get out there again soon Keith, maybe a short one 3-4 days, monday morning to thursday evening one week maybe. Quote
moorsey Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Posted May 5, 2011 As long as we have space you're always welcome mate. Keith Quote
arl Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Speechless,so many 50,s surely theirs going to be a 60 out soon Quote
moorsey Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Posted May 5, 2011 It's impossible to say really because individual fish grow at differing speeds but we do seem to have the entire stock growing "en masse" so to speak and I'm sure it's because of getting rid of the silver fish. We are planning another drain down this autumn so that we can sort them out again and remove the smaller catfish [probably only leave in 10 or 12 of the bigger cats] and that should see some more big weight gains for 2012. So far, in less than 6 weeks, we have matched last years totals for fifties [13] and have blitzed the totals for carp over thirty pound by seeing about 260 landed so far. Quote
moorsey Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Posted May 5, 2011 Yet another fifty out at lunch time today in the shape of The Half Linear at a very accurately weighed 54lb 13oz. Five fifties this week so far. Quote
coops_northants Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Awsome. Keith, I think im going to be coming out with James in may next year. Quote
Guest rotory35 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 think i may book a trip there meeself in the future, done some lovely big fish last week or so. Quote
bubsyboy Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 REALLY cant wait to get over there in june mate! Thoroughly looking forward to it!! Quote
moorsey Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 I'll update this with the year to date results but, unbelievably, the same angler, Simon, called me last night to ask for some pic's of his fourth fifty at 52lb 0oz for the week. Some angling eh? Keith Quote
moorsey Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 Right catch report as promised. This week we saw the following carp banked:- 16 twenties 23 thirties 7 forties 6 fifties [mirrors of 52lb 0oz, 52lb 2oz, 53lb 10oz, 54lb 14oz, 55lb 2oz and a common of 52lb 8oz] The totals for our first 6 weeks are as follows:- 60 twenties 197 thirties 61 forties 15 fifties [273 carp in total over 30lb in 6 weeks] Quote
nigewoodcock Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Right catch report as promised.This week we saw the following carp banked:- 16 twenties 23 thirties 7 forties 6 fifties [mirrors of 52lb 0oz, 52lb 2oz, 53lb 10oz, 54lb 14oz, 55lb 2oz and a common of 52lb 8oz] The totals for our first 6 weeks are as follows:- 60 twenties 197 thirties 61 forties 15 fifties [273 carp in total over 30lb in 6 weeks] Wow! Quote
moorsey Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Posted May 14, 2011 Catch report for end of week 7 [14th May 2011] the week during which the carp decided to spawn. 8 twenties 30 thirties 14 forties [48lb 10oz mirror & 47lb 13oz common] 3 fifties [54lb 12oz, 55lb 0oz & 57lb 7oz, all mirrors] Totals for the first 7 weeks:- 68 twenties 227 thirties 75 forties 18 fifties Spawning is now done and dusted and I am expecting to see some of the smaller [20's] caught at the start of this week as it is normally the males which switch back on to feeding before the females.

moorsey Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Posted May 22, 2011 Catch report for end of week 8 21st May 2011. A very strange week with more carp lost than landed due to a multitude of reasons but the banked fish consisted of:- 17 twenties [including 5 of 29lb+] 20 thirties [including 6 of 39lb+ which would all have been forties before spawning] 2 forties 5 fifties [51lb 6oz common and mirrors of 51lb 12oz, 53lb 8oz, 54lb 4oz & 56lb 1oz] Totals for the year to date:- 85 twenties 247 thirties 77 forties 23 fifties [14 different carp] Quote
iambunn Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 Unbelievable fishing keith! I cannot wait to get out again, but like the other boys, I'll have to wait until next year I think. Hope all is well with the family too, catch you soon mate. Lewis Quote
