What More To Say After 20 Visits?

Bob Carey and Ray Green: What More To Say After 20 Visits?

By Bob Carey and Ray Green on 3 June 2018

What more can we say that hasn't already been said in my 20 previous visits to Oakview Lake. The fish are all in perfect condition and we have watched them grow over the years. Once again Martin and Shirley are great hosts and friends. They will help you with any difficult moments you have and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Fishing Tactics: Fishing under the trees to the left produced a few fish, but most fish caught were in mid water on both sides of the lake. I used a new bait (Complex T), which was a winner this year.

Catch: 1 x 40, 5 x 30s, 8 x 20s (including a new lake record grass carp) and 2 under 20lb (ghost commons).
