Lovely Being Back After 4 Years

Cooper Family: Lovely Being Back After 4 Years

By Cooper Family on 8 October 2016

It was lovely to finally come back 'home' after 4 years. Martin and Shirley are two of the nicest, friendliest, down-to-earth people we know. From first booking to leaving there is nothing that is too much trouble. We brought 2 sons and partners on this visit and having told them what to expect, Martin and Shirley didn't disappoint. Everything surpassed even what we said.

The fishing was hard as evening temperatures started dropping sharply 2 days before we arrived. It took until Tuesday before the carp came back on the feed and we managed 7 fish in total. We lost another 6 through cut offs and hook pulls, but we still had a cracking week. Darren smashed his PB 3 times and we've already booked for 2018.

Carp catches: 1 x 40, 3 x 30s, 2 x 20s and a 12lb 10oz grass carp.

Tactics: Fished the home swims and night time proved best. All our fish came on coconut crunch boilies with plastic corn.
