thanks. 29 fish is a great catch, i found that the larger fish came in waves, one night i had 9 fish after tea before putting the rods away and they were all 20's or doubles. the night i had the 58 i had 5 fish 2 x 40 the big one a 30 and only one 20. all on one rod.

a great trip but i have come home absolutely shattered!

i got back from lake four with my 10 year old son, we had lake four to ourselves so set up in peg four (3 rods between us). i spread the rods around the lake fishing cell and northern specials.

we had fish from the off, and had 2 triple takes and one double take, managing to land all of the triple take fish!!

i tended to bring the rods in at around midnight as reuben needed his sleep, and put them out again about 7 in the morning.

we ended up with:

a new lake record (i think) 58lb 6 oz mirror, which is also a PB mirror for me.

48lb common
42lb
41lb
2 x 401/2lb

26 x 30's
25 x 20's (including 3 x doubles)

56 fish in total, and we arrived sat afternoon and left friday morning and didn't fish nights! i reckon if i had fished it hard on my own without my son i could easily have done 100 plus fish. my son landed 70% of the fish himself.

it was a great week with some great anglers and as usual great food and staff!

to add to the fun we had a tyre blow out on the a26 on the way home yesterday! changing it with lorrys hurtling past was an experience!

to be honest, i have never needed anything apart from drinks and a few biscuits etc the meals are plentiful and the only work is winding in the carp!
