Xanna from Nirvana’s Xanadu Lake at 27lbs 8oz

posted in: Carp Fishing, Sidebar | 0
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!”

“After nearly 20 years with the Trust it is time for a new challenge. I have made many friends and have worked with some fantastic colleagues during that time and am very grateful for the opportunities I have been given within the organisation. I feel very lucky to have worked on and around the amazing lakes for so long and I am very proud of the achievements that have been made. I am leaving to take up a fishery manager role with another organisation but leave with a heavy heart. I wish everyone at SW Lakes and everyone I have come to know during my time here a very happy, safe and prosperous future.
