Dwayne Baker has caught the beautiful Mirror known as Xanna from Nirvana’s Xanadu Lake at 27lbs 8oz after spawning so at a lower weight than normal but what a stunner!
Dwayne shared –
“My friend told me he been trying to get xanna from the Xanadu lake for many years. He showed me a pic on Instagram & said I should go on there for the next night. So I packed up from the kracking and headed down to the Xanadu. I set up a method as I’d seen loads of activity and didn’t know what sort of head of fish was in there. Using essential cell response pellets mushed down with some warm water. And a small pink plastic corn. Within 3 mins my Rod went and my luck strikes. 1st fish and was only xanna!! Weighing 27.8. Was over the moon with the talk the night before of her. So thanks guys at anglers paradise and will see u next year I hope!”

20 fished . Tarka has again produced a fantastic match, dominated by in form Kevin who again drew peg 19 . His worm and groundbait approach on the short pole proved perfect. Nathan , despite lossing several carp, finished second using similar tactics on peg 16. Colin on peg 1 ended up third with a mainly carp net from the shallower peg. The drop in temperature and brisk westerly did little to stop fish from feeding , our next match is ,as always , the second Sunday of the month.
