100lB + CAT FISH - DO YOU FANCY CATCHING A BIG CAT????

We couldn't help thinking that our one and only cat fish (Flip Flop) was a bit lonely so to cheer him up we have put some companions in with him.  On Thursday 22nd November 2007 we introduced 3 more huge cat fish weighing in at 94lb, 103lb and a massive 114lb (as seen below).  These fish are what Kevin Maddocks described to me once as 3MAN FISH.  I think you can see why!!

Lawrence catching a 36-10 mirror and Bacon Bob in with a 38 mirror. So both anglers went away more than happy!!

APRIL NEWS 2007

Due to the month long heat-wave experienced in this region for the whole of April, the Deux Pierres fish were more interested in spawning than feeding, but some catches worthy of note include Barry Wrights 9 fish catch in the 1st week. Kevin Pitts group managed Personal Bests, including mirrors and commons to 45 pound.

The third week of April when temperatures soared into the high 80's produced a 13 fish catch for Ken Wilkes which included commons to 39 pound and mirrors to 44½ pound. Also that week produced mirrors to 44-12 for Miles Farrington.

This was followed by husband and wife team Gordon and Ann McIntosh who shared a 16 fish catch with mirrors to 41-5 and newcomer to the sport Dan Eastes, after a succession of lossess managed a brace of mid 20's. These fish were all caught in the first four days before another spawning frenzy stopped any further action.

Dave Bradley fished a six night session and his first fish from Deux Pierres was a MASSIVE 47-8 mirror. Dave then went on to take a further 15 fish including a 45-8, a 42-4, a 39-2 and several other 30's including commons to 36-8. WELL DONE TO DAVE!! The fish are piling the pounds on and our first 50 is not very far away.

"STOP PRESS"

Lawrence Hamilton followed Dave and opened his account with a 45 mirror and a 34 common.
