28/3/15 to 4/4/15

dean with alfie his ten year old son and friend arron  joined us  after a short wait at the airport due to our van breaking down on the way to pick them up

maria got them settled in as I was stuck on the back of a breakdown truck

I arrived at the lake being greeted by Alfie shouting dads got a big fish think its 50lb bertha ??? 

in fact it was the second carp that was caught within a hour of them setting up

and blow me it was bertha she could not wait to get out of the water she had lost about a pound in weight over the winter

over that week dean was the most prolific carper catching heaps of high teens low twentys and a 33 lb er

son Alfie also broke his p.b with a stunning 22lber
