Pretty grim if that's the case and I'd certainly feel for those that have spent months, even years, trying to trip it up in the legal fishing areas. That's carp fishing for you I suppose.

I believe Simon Scott is fishing an area of the lake that not everyone has access to. I doubt he would come in for as much criticism if he was to land the fish from that area.

What rubbish , you take a short cut in the tour de France , your banned , even if it's found out years later .
I like Greg's blogs ,what you see is what you get and he can catch em , but if true it's totally disrespectful to the guys that put the time in honestly ,
All this gloryfying of such practices like guesting, fishing reserves etc is a joke imo , catch at any cost 👎
Of course I hope these rumours are not true .

Lol wot?
No, you'd be a cheat and if found out disqualified.
//Puts on moralising hat
If any of this is true, I can't but help think that these shenanigans are not going to go down too well. Obviously the fanbois will justify it all, no change there then, but for the wider audience and anglers with a shred of integrity and playing by the rulez, coz rulez are rulez and there for a reason after all, I can see him viewed negatively for years to come. Silly really, then again, you catch a bad dose of carp fever and it makes you do all sorts of crazy things.
I'm sure the halfwits out there will claim that others bemoaning such escapades is driven by envy, to me that's just a lame ad hominem and irrelevant.
Let's all hope this was caught legit and it's all a do about nothing.

Didn't Dave Lane use a boat on there when they were banned? 
If Ellis was the only one on there pulling the odd stroke and I doubt he was. Then it might slightly sour the capture
But then it's only fishing.

fair play to him for catching it either out of bounds or not.. could be ottered by winter.. we're all hunters at the end of the day and you cant catch whats not in front of you
