it was a superb trip except for the weather as slim will tell you when he gets back from his trip the colours on that 18lber were amazing bigpushymcphee and it faught like mad but they all do lol
now for the mad bit i checked my pictures and the big en is the same fish i had last year in sept !it came out to a guy last april at about 45lb i got it in sept at 47.2 and now at 49.13 so for a big fish to put 5lb on since april is mad especially at this time of year

Allreet Mike, many congrats on your fish bud. You were right the 49 is a real stunner

My God how bad was the weather its the worst i have ever fished in, think i'm going rusty

Cherpont suffered with the weather with both ends off the lake producing 80% off the fish and the anglers who were in the middle struggling and just picking up the odd fish here and there.

Yours truly had positioned himself smack bang in the middle off the lake in a swim I know well and thought it was a banker, just shows how wrong you can be.

Anyway I caught 3 fish with the largest weighing in at 36-8. You might think that I am disappointed with this but not so, I had a nice time especially as my mate came along to keep me company which was a total surprise as he had kept it quiet till i met him down there on the Friday

We tried everything we knew to catch but the fish were just not there you can only deal with the cards you are dealt eh lads.

Look forward to going back in September

Cheers Slim.
