Great Catches!

Thank you for a lovely week at Oakview! We enjoyed some unexpected autumn sunshine and great catches too. The lake fished steadily from Saturday evening right through until Friday evening. Philip and James fished both days and nights until Thursday morning, when James returned home due to work commitments. Thursday and Friday Philip just fished days. Seven forties, with four coming in an eighteen hour period! See you next year.

Tactics: fished from the home swims and caught using a mix of Cell and Active 8 boilies. Main catching spots were under the silver willow (left margin), in and around the bowl and the right side of the island.

Caught 18 carp: 7 x 40s, 9 x 30s and 2 x 20s. Philip smashes his PB with a 47lb 8oz mirror and currently holds the lake record for the most forties to a single angler (6).
