Number one Prawn Star Rocky Rupture showing one of the many Carp that he landed that day.
Also with Rocky was another full time male model and escort to many of the famous and beautiful women of the land. None other than Justin Crev-ass. I hear squeals of delight and as you can imagine, I had a hard time keeping resident females Rachel and Christine in the shop. Its not often they get a chance to witness such "Earthy" rippling torso's.
Carp News
This week has also been a cracker on Barnmoor Lake for big Carp. Largest was a 29 lb 6 oz common caught by Steve Smith. The successful bait being sweetcorn. The corn was being fished on a waggler rig using 4 lb line on Peg 4. Well angled Steve
Nigel Tupper is a regularly in amongst the big fish , so it came as no surprise to me when after only 15 minutes of starting on peg 16 he landed another beautiful Common at 26 lb 12 oz.
However the epic battle of the week took place on peg 5 again on Barnmoor. When Mark Cannings foul hooked a carp in the tail on the pole. Using only white hydro elastic through his top three he eventually landed a mirror of 21 lb 3 oz. I expected him to him still playing it the next morning. They don't call him the Chinese puzzle for nothing. He landed it and his mate Ivan weighed it before I cam back - so no picture.
Withy Escapees
I managed to get a few pics during that rare occasion the sun was in the right place, of the Bream that escaped in the floods. Looking in from peg 9 and 10 on Cottage Bank. You can see they have grown well. I can remember seeing them when they were tiny now at nearly 2 lb they are a sight. Fellow blogger Gary Williams also got a few pics a couple of weeks ago - they can be seen at " A river runs through it" http://midsectionblues.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/a-river-runs-through-it.html
Stocking in October
Next month will see the Carp being netted from the stock pond. They will I believe mostly going into the snake with a smaller stocking in Sellwood and Cottage. Dave Higgins has spent time stretching ropes across the lakes to stop the "Black Death Cormorants" getting at them. They went in at a pound and will be coming out at 3.5 lb and they are beautiful examples of fish.
Pretty Boy still the best
Saturday saw the first round of the teams of 4 Championship fished on Sellwood, Cottage, and the Snake. It was tight finish with Eastliegh and Reids Tackle tied at the top. However there was no doubt who was the individual winner .
1st James Knight (on the Snake) 118 lb 4 oz
2nd Pete Newman again on the Snake with 76 lb 8 oz
From the other lakes came the third place. Rich Penney
with 75 lb 3 oz.
Wetter than the fish!!!!
Wednesday saw a Silver fish only match on Barnmoor. The heavens opened all day with torrential heavy rain. The expected 30 lb bags went out of the window. I had so much water in my ground bait bowl there were more Bream in it than in lake in front of me.
1st Place Dave George (Browning) from peg 12 with 18 lb 8 oz
2nd Place Gary (Big Dog) Williams 17 lb 8 oz from peg 5
3rd James Carty (Thatchers) peg 6 with 14 lb 14 oz.
Full story for this with Pics can be seen at the following link.
See you all next week good fishing
