Me and my son Danny are back after SIX nights on Daiwa. And we are knackered.

So where to begin.

Between us we have 4 rods out over 10 kilos of spodded bait, fishing boilies and maize over the top.

The first night started well with a screaming run at 1am only to be lost at the net. At 2 am the same rod did the business and a 25lb Common landed safely this time, and the same rod produced an upper double common at 5am. Then at 2pm next day again the same rod lands a 28lb plus common. AND that night that 'same rod lands my new PB Common at 29lb 12oz.

So to keep it fair the 1st thing next morning me and Danny (only just 14 years old ) swap swims and we both set about spodding out another 20 kilos of bait (particles and pellet plus chopped and crushed boilies)

Over the next 48 hours Danny has 3 upper doubles and a new PB of a 28lb plus Common. I have another common at 26lb plus a new PB mirror in the form of a perfect Two Tone Linear at 25lb z. A few more doubles are also landed.

Then as we are packing up on the 5th morning Danny lands a New Family PB Common at 31 lb. This he managed all alone as I was otherwise busy

wow 'o' wow what a session

My son of 14 yrs old lands a 30lber before me , and what a moment for us both,

So an extra night is arranged and I manage a low 20lb common as we are finally packing up.

16 fish in total, maybe not a big haul to some of you, but the quality of fish caught makes up for that.

And we must thank Phil of Cotsold Baits for delivering an extra few kilos of the new Tock 2's to us at the lake. Most were caught on the Tocks to include Dannys 31lber.

And I believe four other anglers landed personal bests in the high upper 20lb's mark as well.

Thanx everyone

Its gr8 when it all comes together, makes all the 'almost' sessions worth while,

just hope its not too long before another session comes just right for us again

To the cause
