NEVER GIVE UP!

Is the Moral of the story!

Michael Pearson from Mansfield took some ‘time out’ of the Netting Madness last week to do some fishing on the Main Lake, the fish were playing very hard to get but that didn’t stop him!

He booked an extra Night’s Stay and his persistence paid off as he landed this beauty of a 18lb 8oz Mirror right at the last minute!

Michael used a withy pool rig size 6 razor point hook to soft braided hook link with a 10mm northern special pop up.
