Fish of a lifetime!

James Dodds, a WACAC member on a recent trip to Emmotlands ponds near Hull  targeted the large carp in pond 2 and after no bites for nearly 48 hours was rewarded with this 39 pound Wels catfish caught on a snowman cell bait fished over a bed of hemp "this fish fought like a demon and is my first catfish."

Fish stocking details

We managed to stock both QEII and Milkhope a couple of weeks ago with the following:

QEII approx 150lb of Mirror carp + a couple of ghost carp around the 3-5lb mark

Milkhope 150 Bream of varying sizes and 150 Tench 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm).

Horton picks up

Roy Small and Jimmy Armstrong enjoyed a good day at Horton last week catching roach to 6 oz

Anyone fancy tackling some French carp?

A recent trip to France for one member resulted in some great sport on the pole during a fun session but on the serious side the lake also yielded a 46lb mirror carp caught on a simple hair rig and coconut 16mm boilie topped with maize.

Venue site details and accommodation (very affordable) HERE

Cormorant Watch Website - (Link on the left menu bar)

Either use this website every time you spot a cormorant in flight, eating fish, roosting or perching (on our waters especially) or contact the club via e-mail and we will add this sighting to the Cormorant Watch Website.  It's important that everyone reports these sightings so the Angling Trust can use this to fight the corner of anglers to stop this invasive species from taking our fish stocks.

Record the water, the date, how many, type of water and what they were doing

It's easy to use
