PB MIRROR FROM THE SPECIMEN CAT LAKE!

Richard Mason, 35 from Newquay joined us for a session on Nirvana’s Specimen Cat Lake and caught this stunner of a Mirror weighing 38lb 7oz making it a new UK Personal Best for him!

Richard shared –

“I was in peg one fishing for cats down each margin, during the day baiting up to the point of the island and at about 6pm lots of carp started topping so I changed one of my rigs to pallatrax stone leads simple snow man rig with mackerel Xt 15mm and sticky baits white pop up.”

 

**PERSONAL BESTS FOR 2 BROTHERS**BROTHERS THAT FISH TOGETHER STAY TOGETHER!**
Brothers Simon and Chris Rhodes joined us for their annual holiday in search of a personal best Catfish and that they did! Simon landed a PB 66lb Cat on his last day on the Main Carp Lake and Chris caught a PB 50lb 10oz Cat from the Specimen Cat Lake. They used 20lb line size 4 barbless hooks and polish garlic luncheon meat as bait.
Simon shared –
“Last day on the Main Carp Lake, I fished on the famous Nev’s Point and caught a personal best 66lb Wels Catfish! I had 8 powerful runs and 25 mins later taking two nets to land it!!
The perfect end to a great week!”

Zyggy Gregorek posted this news today as he prepares to head off once again on globe trotting exploits in search of big fish.

“My first 20lb 2oz Mirror Carp this year, caught at our 5’C’S Syndicate match on the Main Lake on the 1st July trying out my new T Shirt which I’m taking to Cape Verde and it’s now been christened with my 1st 20 this year. This T shirt is definitely lucky so all the Sharks, Tuna and Marlin beware in a week’s time. Zyggy will be after you with my new Tshirt which I had specially printed”.

Elliot Gerard had a cracking brace of carp from Upper Tamar Lake on the Cornwall/Devon border. Justin caught the much sought after ‘The Peach’ at 33lbs and also a backup common of 19lb. Justin waded up the margin a long way and dropped his baits 6 foot from the bank with a couple of hand fulls of solid and crum boilies with a Cell wafter over the top.

Summer Images 2018

by | posted in: Carp Fishing, Game Fishing, Sea Angling, Sidebar | 0

The summer of 2018 will be etched upon our memories as one of those rare summers of sunshine and warmth. Those of you old enough may be able to remember that notorious summer of 1976 when the country had many weeks without rain when the grass was parched and beaches packed with tourists. Last week I asked for images of angling in North Devon during mid summer 2018. Below are a few images that illustrate one of the reasons we spend so much time at the waters edge in search of fish. Sometimes catching is just a bonus.

Its mid summer the longest days are here now and it doesn’t get any better out at the waters edge. Over the next few days it be would great to share a few images of summer at the waters edge. So lets see some images of fish, water and fishing. Lets get away from those standard grip and pose shots of angler with fish and try to get a bit of atmosphere and the joys of angling. Please either email to me at [email protected] or just post on the North Devon Angling News Facebook page and I will transfer from there.

Next weekend I publish a picture special of North Devon Angling Views! Thanks for your response so far
