My chub was caught on 5/1/2008 at Patch Park on an avon rod, 6lb
line,3lb hooklink,size 12 hook with a lump of cheesepaste.I had it on my
first cast fishing down the side.The river was up and pushing slightly and
had a good colour.It was caught at 4.15pm just as it was getting dark.I
didn't weigh it as i had left my scales at home.This is my first chub from the Roding and
i can't wait to give it another bash

| Etang des Landes |
|
 |
My last trip to Etang des Landes was in May of this year when 4 of us fished the lake. The. two of us fishing the house side had over a 1000lb of fish, the biggest being a 36lb common with a few other 30lbers and a lot of upper 20s caught using the owners fish meal bollies and pellet. Most of the fish were commons with some really fine looking mirrors. I found the best method was using size 8 hooks and small rigs apox 5 to 6in long and you don't have to cast long distances to get into the fish. |
One of my friends fishing the opposite bank was .fishing in France for the first time and his first fish was a pb 30lb 4oz common and there were 3 other pb's caught in the week, though not by myself.
I caught the lake record back in March with a 45lb mirror and there is no doubt in my mind that fish will be in its 50"s next year for me to catch HOPEFULLY!!!!!
The weather was changeable otherwise there could have been a lot more fish caught. I did lose 11 fish with hook pulls but landed 18 fish for about 700lb so I had a great time

Southminster
I recently fished southminster with a friend from friday 08-06-07 to sunday 10-06-07 morning, we had a steady run of fish almost from the word go.
Between us we had 13 carp ranging from 6lb up to 19.9lb which is in the picture, paul also had a nice 5lb bream.
All carp were caught on bollies, banana flavour proving to be a big hit.
