Welcome to the gallery for 2009
and some of Cottingtons best
Hi, I fished a 24hr ticket on pepper lake from the evening of thursday the 24th with a friend Chris Bonnick (it was his first time carp fishing).. Chris hooked his first carp within 30minutes of setting him up but unfortunately it found the safety of the reeds and was lost. less than an hour after loosing his first fish he was in again this time he managed to land a decent mirror of 20lb 12oz. During the night I lost a carp again to the reeds, next day we didnt get a bite until just before 12 when Chris's rod screamed into life, after helping chris apply enough pressure to get the fish out of the base of the reeds and into open water a 30minute fight followed by now he had a small crowd of anglers to witness him land a 37lb mirror. As you can imagine being his first ever fishing trip he was grining from ear to ear. Finally I managed to land myself a 17.5lb common on my last cast. Please find attached the pictures of chris and his 37lber.. All fish were landed on Cell boilies. Tight Lines Richard Eyles
