5C’s Member Jordan Whitfield, 21 from Exeter jvisited Anglers Paradise for a session on the Main Carp Lake for the last Syndicate Weekend of the year and caught this stunning 21lb 2oz Fully scaled Mirror and a mid-double.

Not my idea of fun but if you fancy a bit of armchair fishing this new game could be of Interest. The details below come direct from Zenia at Anglers Paradise. I would rather fish in real paradise but I guess this way you wouldn’t get cold and wet.
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ANGLERS PARADISE TO BE IN A GAME COMING OUT IN 2018!
A NEW Game that will be an App called ‘Tight Lines Game’, will be coming to us all to play in 2018 AND Anglers Paradise are going to be one of the many Fisheries on it to fish VIRTUALLY!!
THE MAKERS OF THE APP SHARED WITH US –
“At the beginning of a Tight Lines game each player is given a tacklebox, fishing licence and landing net, and also selects two of the four hook baits available. It is up to the players to manage their tackle box, adding and removing items as strategy or conditions dictate. There are not enough tackle box compartments to carry everything that a player might need throughout a game, so keeping a good balance of items is important #tipthescales. Also, if #bobthebailiff catches you without a required item such as a licence, or with an illegal one like a banned bait, the penalties could be severe – unless you bribe him of course!”
The Tight Lines #fishtheworldapp #comingin2018 will feature ANGLER’S PARADISE @anglersparadisedevon. One of my favorite places to enjoy a fishing holiday, Angler’s Paradise boasts of 30 lakes, luxury accommodation, and most importantly a wonderful variety of stunning fish. Carp to 50lbs, #welscatfish to over 80lbs, #goldentench, #grasscarp, #goldenorfe, #koicarp and many more.
What an awesome set of “Fish on!” cards this venue will have. #coarsefishing #familyfishing #carpfishing #fishingholidays #kickstarter #thefishinggame #tightlines.”
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING US AND WE FOR ONE CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY IT WHEN WE CAN’T GO FISHING FOR REAL!!
