Pads Lake Awake


Neil Jones with a Pads Lake Whacker of 25lb 12oz

After a couple of slow weeks, the Pads lake on our Dynamite Baits sponsored Yateley complex, awoke on the week starting 9th August, with Phil Merriot from Romsey, Hampshire landing four fish and losing one. His catch included a 27:12 mirror, 27lb mirror, 24:08 mirror and 22:10 mirror. All came to a small pva with pellets and the Source boilies as hook bait, from the first swim on the Car Park Lake bank.

Neil Jones also waded in with this cracking looking warrior of 25lb 12oz caught from a small gravel spot in the far margin of Grebes Head Bay. The mirror fell to a Solar Club mix 14mm boilie with a scattering of baits around it, 12lb Big Game to a 15lb green Stealth Skin, size 8 T6 Raptor hook with a 3oz lead completed the set-up. Unfortunately Neil lost another also.

The other angler to catch during their stay was Stuart ‘Wiggy’ Morgan who added this lovely last gasp mirror of 23lb which fell to the new Mainline Fusion boilie fished on a 4 bait stringer and cast to some bubbling fish in the corner swim. 12lb GR60 line, to an 8 inch Snakebite hooklength, tied blowback style, with a size 6 ESP T6 Raptor hook.
