Just enjoying a nice stay at Stanwick Lakes Elsons. Always find it a tricky water, but managed a couple. Nice dark 22lb common and midnight I slipped the net under a 36lb 7oz mirror. Was told by the bailiffs this morning that it's a fish called Spike, only remaining fish from a stocking made in 1971, making this carp probably North of 50 years old. Seemed pretty fit and healthy to me



And here's the common



Here until tomorrow midday so be nice to nick another, but won't be gutted if I don't!!
