What a fantastic week it's been for brother in law Jay banking 22 fish out of the main lake off swim 3 fishing left hand rod into middle of lake in front of swim 4 which produced most of his fish fishing over our particle/pellet PRF lake boilie a bit of cell/essential cell but not a lot.
We had a heat wave over the time Jay was here temperatures over 35 degrees hot sunshine very warm nights light winds from the south.
He banked 10 named fish The Big Scale,The Sub,Sid,Nobby,H,Stallone,Scar The Common,Stretch the Common,Jenny and Small Scar.
2 x 50's to 52 lb 2 oz, 9 x 40's to 47 lb 11 oz, 6 x 30's 38 lb 14 oz and 5 x 20's all this years stockies total of 22 fish average weight of 39.3 lb only one fish was lost which could have been the big cat.
Also one cat out the main lake which has now been removed around 16 lb and one coypu landed which was a pb for Jay around 13 lb lol.
He also banked a dozen or so fish out of the Blue Lagoon upto 20 lb 2 oz a new stock fish.
A trip he won't forget nor me had some good times especially at 3.30am in the morning unhooking a coypu lol and when he pulled back his sleeping bag one night and found Sid the fake snake in it his face was priceless we now have a 50 named after it and of course the mask came out again didn't it Jay !
Was a pleasure Jay and I really hope you and Jon can make it when our season finishes end of October and we can all bank some lumps and you two can compete for your yearly trophy !

Two lovely couples this week from the north of England,
Mike And Gwen who have been here many times before fishing 9 and 10 and there friends John and Sarah fishing 3 and 4 they are all using lake particle mix,pellet and various pop ups.
Gwen was on the Daisy spot but we didn't see the big girl this week.
What a shame it's been so hard going carp started spawning heavy on Sunday and were at it for a good 3 days on and off, into Wednesday lots more showing on the spots but with the weather in the mid 30's the fish just won't having it,Mike on swim 10 40 and a 35 lb John on swim 4 banked a 12 lb kitten and Sarah banked one of this year's stockies @ 26 lb.
The weather was roasting into the mid 30's hot sunshine blue skies very warm nights 21 + doesn't look like it's going to change for at least another week or so going into the high 30's next week it's officially a heat wave now here in France,John and Sarah went home very tanned fishing on the sunny side.
3rd June 2017
The lake gets a rest this week,lots of jobs can be done around the lake ready for our new anglers next week.
Think it would be rude not to wet a line inbetween jobs to get a few on the bank, damn it didn't happen too busy !
Weather was very warm upto 30 degrees again a couple of cooler days and a wicked storm inbetween.
