I'm a b little perplexed as to why some of the money is going to Embyo & a competition company 🤔

I'd say it's likely broken down like this;

70% materials
20% to embryo for labour on a massive job
10% for admin to the competition company

Most competition companies or fundraising companies take a % as admin. Look at captain Tom outrage for example.

Well, it all turned out right in the end, good thing really as it'll guarantee Burghfield's wellbeing well into the distance for future anglers.

As little interest as I have with fishing Burghfield, I wouldn't want to see any fish get done by an otter regardless of the venue.

only fencing 70% of Burghfield .... WTF please tell me they are fencing all of it 100%

Why bother starting to fence Burghfield, knowing you will have a 30% perimeter hole for the unthinkable to wander in ?

It's OK when the otters get in they will only eat 70% of the BC.

I've looked at some of the comments on Greg's posts and it's cringing tbh. People are so far up his arse I can't tell who's who. Just see a set of toe nails hanging out 😂

Same on Pecky's you'd think he'd discovered a cure for cancer not caught a few mud pigs

The BC.
I don't even know when it was stocked or by whom but it swam with some of the finest genuine Leneys in the country, in a 90 acre pit that was pioneered by the likes of Kenny Hodder. It was caught back in the 1980's at mid twenties but it was in the 1990's that those in the know began to take notice. Even then, it wasn't until the late 90's/early 00's when it hit 40+ that it became big news. By the mid 00's it had grown to a massive 57 lb, the biggest proper English common carp the country had ever seen. All these years later the fish remains so with a biggest weight of 62 odd.


Didn't know that, never looked into it. And that is why fish like this are pretty amazing, the survivors. Incredible

Cracking fish, have to say

Why isn't the Syndicate paying for this?? They took the place over so must have knew the future costs..
