First catfish for Jake!
Fishing for catfish and this took a 1/0 hook on Bailey's baits Apex 20mm pop up with a Apex 20mm Bollie. 30.1lb. First one I've ever had.
Managed to nab a nice 20lb 4oz common!
Decided to try a new day ticket, a 9 acre castle estate lake, absolutely stunning place to fish. Managed to nab 1, a nice 20lb 4 Oz common. It was also my 1st time using Baylys Baits secret sauce. Used a boilie straight from the bag tipped with a white corn topper from the range soaked in gods gift
New species for me ✅ 🎣
Back on the bank and back amongst one the pretty commons on the club lake, this one felt very good to slip over my net cord. After so many lost fish to snags and so much back luck this one went 22lb 😍

An epic battle with a 104lb catfish!
Recent trip to France with Darren and Peter Chell. Resulted in a bit of an epic battle with this 104lb catfish on carp gear. After a 45 minute battle of wits pete managed to glove the beast out. It was nearly a bucket soaking...but not this time 😂😂
35lb PB!
I’ve been very lucky & had 2 trips out to France in the last few weeks.
I’ve just come back from the second at Pleasurelakefrance.co.uk with David @ Peter. I lost a big one on the first morning and did struggle BUT did have my new PB common 35lb AND my first grassy (hopefully my last tbh!) 28lb
I’m not used to heavy baiting but went through copious amounts of Baylys Baits during the 2 sessions which was certainly doing its job.
I’m learning each time and have massively enjoyed my sessions over there so hope to return in the not too distant!
It’s all about getting out and enjoying nature by the lakes, but when your alarms rip off with rewards like these, that’s what makes it all worth the while 🙏💪
A cracking 45lb PB!
I’ve been very lucky & had 2 trips out to France in the last few weeks, the first to Petit Pretre with Simon where, after a shaky start with a series of hook pulls (remedied by switching from hand sharpened to thicker gauge hooks) I broke my PB mirror with a cracking 45lb.
