This is Paul Mcassey with one of a stunning brace of common carp caught from Weston. This was a new PB for Paul who has fished with me as a guest on three occasions. The joy on his face when he scooped the ent under the fish certainly made my year – well done my son!!!

 

Another stunning Weston common for Lance who came on the three day guided trip. Lance fished like a pro, landing a rake of fish from the fantastic ‘rhodies’ swim with the best of the bunch this cracker. And to make things even better, his team manged to stave off demotion too!

 For those of you who have not seen it before, this is the fantastic Weston park lake that we fished. A beautiful estate lake, it contains over 160 carp, mostly twenties with fish to high thirties. There are lots of big commons in Weston and it is a beautiful and secluded place to fish…

 

 Here is a shot of the famous Weston carp browsing in the margins. After climbing a tree located near to the shallows, I was amazed to see around thirty big fish cruising in the shallow water. I flicked out a few spicy chicken boilies, expecting the fish to spook and was amazed to see them swim straight over and start feeding! All of the fish in this picture are over twenty pounds, with the biggest over thirty (a common too!) i nearly fell out of the tree…

  

 Fishing at Weston is a magical experience – the lake is surrounded by beautiful woodlands and the lake glistens like a jewel surrounded by green velvet. 

 

Weston also contains mirror carp – here is Dave Miller with a new PB twenty-one pound fish.

Another mid-twenty common, this time for Pete who was fishing in the shallows. Pete was so absorbed in the fishing that we had trouble getting him to take a break for the evening barbecue…

 This is Matt Underwood with one of the ghost carp found in Isis lake at the Watermark fisheries. Notice the famous houses in the background – these are luxury holiday homes and are the perfect place for families and couples to enjoy a holiday with a spot of fishing!

The ghosties in Isis are legendary – there are lots of them with plenty of singles and low doubles to provide superb surface sport.

  

How’s this for a tench? This is a typical fish from the awesome Bradley’s gravel pit. The tench here average six to seven pounds with fish into double figures. This is Phil Greene with a new personal best…

 

And here’s the moment that makes it all worthwhile – one of my fishing guests slips a superb fish back into the crystal clear margins at Bradley’s pit. Smiles and handshakes all round!

 

To all the guests that have fished with me so far in 2007 – cheers lads – hope to see you in 2008!
