    Had an overnighter on pit 2 with a mate and took my son along for the ride. Got to lakes around 1pm and got set up. Lake looked nice but the 2 pegs we where going to fish were in use on the railway bank so opted to go on the A1 bank and try our luck. The pegs were a bit reeded up but my mate Steve being at one with nature stripped to his shorts and cleared some reeds out to get rods in. I only had the rods in about 30 mins when I had a good take which ended in a 13 common in the net. About 30 mins later another good run and a bit of a fight under the rod tip and a gorgeous 19 1/4 lb mirror in the net. Got to say what a stunning fish and an A1 pb for me but just shy of my actual Pb, 20lb+ has got to come out soon i'm sure.

    Hi all, Fished pit 6 for a couple of nights last this week, got there at about 4pm Wednesday 28th.
    I was suprised to find Pit 6 almost empty with only 2 anglers on, anyway point was vacant ,so I plonked myself in there. Steve related it was'nt fishing very well due to a daphne bloom.
    Anyway I found a couple of clear spots at about 100-110yds and put some bollies over the top, out went a couple of pop-ups set at 3" off the bottom.
    Next morning my middle rod blasted off, which resulted in losing a decent ...

    Afternoon All. Managed a session on Pit 6 at the start of July and managed two cracking fish. Was on the side point and managed 4 takes in 6 hours. Two fish were unfortunately lost but landed a cracking zip linear at 24lb and a new PB common of 21lb.
    The linear has to be the best looking fish I've ever caught...a proper english warrior
    All fish fell to the same rod fished over a few spods of gear at short range.
    Thanks very much to Trev (Freespirit) for doing some brilliant photos. ...

    First off thanks to tattman, Burnt and mozie for the details along with pictures you can find the full thread HERE - Two Tone has come out this afternoon at 41lb verified by Steve the Baliff and Mr John Burnett the owner of the A1 complex hands over £1000 prize to captor Michael Dunworth of Louth one of the A1 regulars. Taken at 40yards, from the 1st peg of the A1 bank on single grain of fake corn in a PVA bag, Two Tone has smashed Michael's previous personal best of 7years (23lb 14oz). He was still shaking and grinning when I saw him about 2 hours after. ...

    Hi all, Well, it's been a while since I've managed to wet a line on the pits. Nearly 2 years in fact due to getting married/work commitments and Afghanistan. Anyway, deserately needed to blow away some thick cobwebs and get bank side. Managed to drop 3 fish in the first 24hrs. First one taken from range snapped my hook length. Second taken from range again on zig snapped me again and the third cut me off over something. To say I was a little peed off would be an understatement!! ...
