Catch Reports
Stunning - just stunning!
Posted in Catch Reports on 29th April 2009Martin Finan’s incredible list of big fish captures just seems to get better and better! Fishing a difficult Southern gravel pit, it was only 13-months ago that he smashed the lake record with a huge 54lb mirror, followed by a hat-trick of forties, but he’s now been at it again!! Read it and weep!
During the past year Martin has concentrated his efforts on to a certain area of the lake in pursuit of an extremely elusive ‘leathery’ type mirror that has only ever been caught on a handful of times during the past 20-years. Having seen the great fish frustratingly cleaning up his free offerings on a number of occasions, and with the season running out of time, the big fish maestro finally managed to nail the monster at a staggering weight of 52lb 10oz!! A new fifty for the venue and of course for Martin himself.
As if all that wasn’t enough, during the same session he also managed to bank a 33lb 8oz mirror followed by one of the most stunning looking carp you will ever see, a 37lb 2oz perfect linear which visits the bank even less than the big mirror! All the fish fell to the legendary B5, which just keeps on nailing the big fish time and time again.
Mike sent Martin the following message on the evening before the capture:
“Encouraging to see he's on the 'money'. Not long now but still time. One
moment's mistake for a lifetime of memories! Don't forget to call me”
The call came the following morning!! Stunning – just stunning!
Something for the weekend sir!
I'm sure most of us would like to think that we're a little more organised than to get caught out with no bait for the weekend, but in truth we've probably all made the mistake of running out of bait at one time or another! Many customers have contacted us over the years to tell us how convenient these weekend session packs are and how they've 'saved' their trip when they've run out of bait.
They really are perfect for a one off weekend session or to keep in the boot of your car or even your garage. We've even had customers that have taken them abroad on their family holidays with a rod and reel chucked in for good measure just in case they stumble across a hidden gem! Perfect for a weekend session or as a 'back up' on those red letter sessions!
