Wilks and the onion ring

30/04/2008 by Mike Inkster.

Wilks, one 0f our regulars, has a cracking black eye. He got it after an encounter with an onion ring in the kitchen where he works - sad but true.

Anyway, now I’ve got your attention, back to the fishing. Fortunes have been mixed over the last few days. The weather has been volatile and at times, dreadful but people still brave it to catch fish.

Phil (as featured in the photo on the back of the 2008 brochure) had an excellent day with a 16, 2 x 14s, a 10 and an 8lb Ghostie. he was very pleased with himself. There have been a couple of 16s out of the old lake as well as a 14lb Grass Carp and an 8lb Barbel. The afore mentioned Wilks caught a monster which he reckons was around the 25lb mark but it slipped the hook as he was landing it - this ‘fishy’ tale was verified by his mate Matt who swears it’s true (?)

Scroggins has produced an abundance of smaller fish but no reports of much over 8lbs in the last few days but they are in there and are waiting for someone with the right skills & luck to catch them.

Good fishing

Mike
