Catch Report

Weather against us last week bitter cold so the catch rates slowed, nothing major high doubles and and twenties only a few fish out this weekend. But the weather is changing again getting warmer with overcast conditions, Steve fishing 29/30 for an overnighter landed a 17 and a 20+ this afternoon, so hope that is a good sign of things to come this week.

14 SEPTEMBER 2011
Tuttie Fruity joined the 40+ club today she now joins Butt head in this exlusive club so we now have two huge pristine commons. She graced the net of Dave Tozet from devon who went home with a new PB he also had two other fish from the dam wall peg, bait and tactics kept close to his chest.
After Dave Tozet left Mark Aughton a local plumber tried his luck on peg 71/72 fishing a 12hr night session, at 7pm he landed an 18lb+ grassie (new pb) at 7. 20pm came a 10lb+ mirror after turning in for the night he was woken at 10.30pm by a screamer on his middle rod and after a good fight a 35lb+ mirror (new pb) graced his net, after some photos he nodded off thinking he had had a good session. Then at 4.15am he was awoken again with that positive sound from his buzzer saying fish on, his rod bent into what initially felt like a good fish then realizing it felt like something special a good fight ensued, in the darkness he slipped his net under a huge common with his head torch shining onto what he recognized was Butt Head at 46lb+ (new pb) he didnt sleep much after that ,110lb in 10 hours. He left for work at 7am tired but very happy and elated. We had a slow end to August and begining of Sept but things seem to be hotting up at the moment.
