Thirty Nine from Paradise
A massive congratulations to Director of Catch, Steve Manley who beat his previous personal UK best by 14lbs with a 39lber from Nirvana’s Kracking Carp Lake!
Steve shared –
“It’s not every day you are lucky enough to achieve your new UK PB… this was very special, a very tricky venue that doesn’t give up its low stock residents easily. Solid bag via a baiting pole out to the corner of some lilly pads. Reel melted in the early hours and this was the result. The now named ‘Moo Moo’ mirror at 39lbs. Thank you Joe for being there to share in the moment and for hosting at the awesome Anglers Paradise!”

Melbury Carp catches
Catch report from Tim Thornton:
“Lovely 32 hour session on SW Lakes Melbury reservoir in North Devon.
Arrived at 0400 in the rain. It took some time to get a bite on the end of a south westerly, but the effort of an early start and 1.5 hour drive in darkness through the damp Devon lanes was worth it.
The bites started to come through observation and different tactics using DNA baits 18mm Bug boilies. 12 bites and 11 landed
The carp scaled from 13lb to 24lb 4oz.
The biggest came in darkness on a relatively heavy baited rod left all day and into the night.
Plus just being here is amazing given the views.
Andrew and Jack Willis also fished at Melbury banking ten carp to 27lb8oz.
Superb Autumn Catches at Stafford Moor
Rich Parker and his brother Chaz fished on the spit and Back Island up on lodge lake. Rich smashed his personal best four times with carp up to 31lb all fish were caught on Sticky baits krill boilies.
{Below) Neil Liddicott banked four fish out of Lodge Lake up to 26lb all fish caught on Sticky baits krill boilies.
A happy customer review….from Dave Walsh AKA ‘French Dave’
Morning Jo, here is my short blog…. Back home after yet another great week at Stafford Moor and this time accompanied by my old friend Frank Oakman who I haven’t fished with since 2012 in France and this was Frank’s first trip to Stafford and he is already`planning his next in 2023. A friendly competition between the 2 of us with plenty of banter which I managed to win 21-10, hard week though as 18 of my fish were caught in a 36 hour spell (mid week). A few pictures for you Jo, not sure showing 2 old fa.ts is good publicity for you. Thanks again for the usual hospitality and everything that makes Stafford Moor so special. See you again before the end of the year
