Doubt i've used that much bait in 4 years....
“I landed nine fish of over 50 lb, four 60s, three 70s, an 87 lb mirror, a stunning 88 lb common and also the World record mirror, which was slightly down in weight, at 112 lb 8 oz.
“I returned and had another good hit, topped by a 101 lb mirror.
“It would be fair to make an assumption that Euro-Aqua is an easy water, but it's not''

What am i missing when a nice mid double still brings a smile to my face....

Like you mention, give me an unknown 20 any day

With you both here. Can anybody tell me what makes this water not easy. What exactly is the angling challenge.

Presenting a bait over the other 10 ton by the sounds of it

I think it was Ian Macmillan on the Korda podcast who said he won't go there as the owner doesn't want you to catch really just buy loads of his bait(only bait allowed too) and feeds the lake heavily even while paying anglers are there

Correct.
I like Ian, says it how it is. The fact Nash let him go for saying the Sirens looked like a can of Lynx put him up in my estimations.

That will be it. Even at £1 a kilo that's £2000 quid a week on bait. 😵😵Can't be any water in there. Each to their own.

170kg of feed twice a day is obscene and the fish are ugly as well!
As has already been said give me an unknown 20lb anyday.
I get fed up with reading about this so called top anglers who are out to catch one named fish and get fed up when they catch one of the 'B team' fish at only 30lb, they have lost the plot!

Its not just boilies he was using, the article says “It is commonplace to feed 20 kg of boilies, 100 kg of hemp and 50 kg of mixed seed per day, even twice a day, to keep massive shoals of fish in your swim.
It doesn't actually say how much bait he was using but I imagine it was a lot.

I have mate one of the best ones they have done, much rather listen to him than Darrel peck and his ‘very few people can do what I do or have the drive to do it' schtik id love to see him do my job and then call what he does work, 80 hour weeks on your feet all day in a small hot and busy kitchen in work by 7am sometimes 6 if I'm on breakfast, don't leave till 11pm at best no proper break just a couple of fags and shove some food down my neck standing over a bin, lol just seems arrogant whereas Ian just seems a very humble straight talking man have nothing but respect for him
