General Comments:

We dropped very lucky this week as the lake had fished poorly the week before.The weather was perfect for the time of year and the fish responded text book style for once. We have been to old oaks before so knew a lot about the place and as usual we stayed away from fishing into the snags. It's not the easiest venue but if you keep things simple and don't change things about too much if you are not catching, the fish will respond.

Details of your catches:

40 Carp, including the Long Common at 62.6 (PB), another PB for Jamie at 51.8 and 23 other carp over 40lbs!
