Lee Willmott doesn’t seem to find that much time to go fishing in between rolling hundreds of kilo’s of bait each week, but when he does, he always seems to make up for it! Once again, his latest short ‘overnighter’ saw him on the banks of his own fishery, Springwood Pool, and on this occasion he managed to smash the lake record with this stunning 35lb 12oz mirror!
The big fish, which hadn’t seen the bank for over 20-months, fell on the stroke of midnight during an aggressive storm, but the winterised version of the Shellfish B5 was enough to finally tempt the elusive specimen out of retirement. Lee introduced 25-free offerings and a kilo of matching B5 pellets to a silty depression at 30-yards to bank the ultra-shy mirror.
