| Capt Charlie Sprake would finish the day with the top bag of 22Ib + |
Rods ready and all induction (health and safety) complete bacon rolls were devoured by hungry anglers ready for the off. The gin clear lakes did not disappoint with fish being taken at both close and long range. Warm sun and a light breeze only assisted as aggressive takes on top and below the surface soon had rods bending to breaking point. Fish of five pounds plus soon started to hit the scales, but these were to be mere teasers to some of the monsters that lurked. Excitement and determined passion continued throughout the day and a well earned hog roast lunch cooked to perfection,was enjoyed by all.
