Captor’s Comments:

All fish during the week came to the same method of fishing double maize over a heavily baited area using the bait boat. The fish caught during the week were as follows 33lb3oz Mirror, 28lb 6oz Mirror, 32.10oz Mirror, 13lb 5oz Mirror, 36lb 10oz Common, 26llb 4oz Mirror, 14lb 5oz Mirror, 35lb 0oz Mirror, 20lb 10oz Mirror, 22lb 0oz Mirror (not all photographed) as they were all at night and my partner was keen on catching up with his beauty sleep.

The 20lb 10oz fish resulted in a trip to the hospital when the fish flipped over, getting the hook firmly stuck in my finger, which had to be cut out 'ouch'.
