Hi Folks,

A quick report from me.

Was on DL4 for a week then moved onto DL5 for a week. Starting last week in August ending two weeks later.

Did 19 fish in DL4 swim 5. It was fishing a bit tricky and the biggest was just under 38lb mirror. Had a few doubles as well. OK first week.

Moved over to DL5 on the friday afternoon (I was first in the draw for DL5 and was therefore allowed to move on the friday afternoon as the lads on there were packing up) and it just kicked off in style. Ended up on 49 for the week including 3x 40s. I also lost a mega cat. Fished Swim 1. Lost a truck load of fish due to hook pulls and diverse reasons but also landed a truck load. Double hook ups while spombing out etc..

As usual, I had a great time, the food was great, everything is well organised and I experianced what can only be described as mental fishing on the second week. A couple of those nights I literally did not get to sleep.

Saw three grass snakes, one lizzard, many herons and a few coypu. I also experienced a 7 hour electrical storm which was interesting.

Asd for tactics, I used size 2 or 4 Korda continental hooks blowback style on 20lb ntrap soft and semi/fixed leads on clips. Used a fishmeal boilie (JK Baits the beard, Dynamite Boilie chops and some cell) and got through a whopping 105kg of bait in the two weeks. Some of this bait was purchased from anglers pulling off on week 1. Not sure that I needed to use that much bait, but was trying to attact catfish which were a bit evasive this time.

All in all a great trip. The place is highly reccomended for those looking for carp on a well organised coach trip from essex or dover.

Kevin
