29 March to 5 April
What a difference a week makes!
After last weeks heroics on Badgers Holt the lake hit back with a vengeance. A cold north easterly wind combined with some heavy rain made the fishing tough for regular Mike who left with a lost fish midweek and a blank. Don’t worry Mike you are back in September and I am sure you will turn it round.
Lac Serreire was equally tough with 16 carp for our three anglers. However 11 out of the 16 were above 48lb with 6 x 50s.
Patrick fishing Middles caught 6 with 2 x 50s of 56lb 9oz and 50lb 4oz. His other 4 carp were all above 48lb. Middles is certainly proving a big fish swim!
Matt and Charles shared Woods and caught 10 with 5 x 50s to 56lb 5oz.
Top angling in tough conditions 🔥🔥🔥
