Heres Rob O’Brien with a 111lb Wels Catfish caught whilst on a recent French trip to Etang Rendezvous. He said the carp weren’t feeding during the trip due to spawning but the cats certainly were. It was caught on the ever faithful Atomic Jel-E-Wyre Hooklink and a Korda Wide Gape Hook. This fish is Rob’s new PB, Well done Rob.

After 2 years, regular customer Simon Hogan, finally bagged the one he was after from Bluebell Lake’s Sandmartin in the shape of this long 32lb 8oz Common. Just look at the tail on it, I bet that fought like a demon!
Good angling Simon.

Regular customer Sean Bowen sent in this catch report.
Hi all,
hope you all well, just got back from a 3 night session on Welham Lake, my first session in the UK since last September. Pre-baited a spot a few days prior and was lucky enough to get back on it, which resulted in 17 carp being banked with a mixture of commons and mirrors, two of which where 20′s.
All fish where taken on T1′s and rigs used where claw style made up of ESP Big T’s size 7, tied to 15lb Jelly Wire and Korda Supernatural Braid.
Back over to France next week to fish the river Gav with my mate so will see you soon.
Sean.
Nice fish, well done Sean.

Trevors hookbait was tipped with a piece of Enterprise Pop Up Sweetcorn to counter balance the hook. The successful rig was a Solar Weed Effect Rig tied to a size 4 Solar Longshank Hook on a Korda Lead Clip and 15lb Korda Subline as the mainline. Trevor also had mirrors of 44 & 43lb. Well done Trevor great session.
