15th December 2011

Shropshire’s Ian Clorley has been on top form again fishing his target venue, after his last run of lumps he’s been in touch to tell me of more commons of 27lb and 26.5, along with mirrors of 22.4, 21.14 and last but not least, 17.3... Crab & Oyster doing the business again. Well done mate and keep’em coming... (pictures now added to gallery).

Tony cope was on form again on his tricky Cheshire target water; a brace of dark mirrors falling to the Bacteria B1s and scuds combinations, nice work....

Rob Fonad took the chance to get the bobbins moving after a bit of mental torture of late on the syndicate (sorry mate couldn’t resist) he took young Scott along and duly got amongst some cracking fish of the future from Whiston Hall - Crab & Oyster taking the fish, well done mate, see you back on the syndi soon...

Biddulph’s Paul Hammond continues to catch fish whenever he’s out at the minute, an old Character leather being the latest; Bacteria B1s as always doing the damage for the Stoke rod...

Cheshire’s Steve Smith has also been in touch to let me know how he’s been fairing on his target winter water, with 5 fish in 5 visits to report up to now on the Bacteria B1 and scud combinations, so it’s all good, well done mate...

Andy Weston has also sent me an email about results on his tricky Cheshire water, another dark mirror and another one for the shadow, Bacteria B1s again doing the business in cold conditions....

I managed to sneak another fish out myself from the syndicate, not the biggest but very welcome as this fish has been on the missing list for 16yrs, so it certainly put a smile on my face!

That’s it for now, if we don’t update the blog again before the 25th, it just remains for me to wish all our customers past and present a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Many thanks for you custom and continued support during 2011, and we look forward to offering you the same quality service into 2012.

Well the last eighteen months has been a real roller coaster of a ride for me with family and business issues. Unfortunately the fishing had to go on hold until I was in a better position to come

Just got back from a top 4 day session at Orchid Lakes. We got there Thursday morning to find a relatively quiet lake. We decided on the Middles & New Middles as we knew from the catch reports

I managed to sneak a session in today as work cancelled my overtime, and boy, am I glad! I got to my chosen peg on the Serpentine just before first light and settled in. I noticed after a few hours
