HARDWICK LAKE
Ian Poole has spread his magic to the water by catching a 30lb 4oz mirror. This is the same fish that Nick Bull caught last summer and which is featured in the new 2002 brochure – it weighed 26.09 when Nick caught it. Ian was fishing in very close using small PVA bags and Richworth Bio-Plex boilies. It is his first thirty from Hardwick Lake.
Fish to 23lb have been reported caught from the causeway. Boilies were used but we have no more details.
ST JOHNS LAKE
Tim Childs found his fish at 70 yards range. Using particle hook bait along with small PVA bags filled with pellets and particle he caught four of the waters super twenties. All were mirrors and weighed 23lb, 24lb, 22lb and 17lb 6oz.
MANOR FARM LAKE
Stoke on Trent’s Dave Lowe caught the fish he wanted this morning – ‘Cut Tail’ the mirror at 40lb 4oz. Dave has caught other fish on the complex but this is his first from Manor and a PB. Dave fished Premier Baits’ boilies at 70 yards to tempt this whacker!
