News at Old Oaks

Congratulations to Rick for breaking the Old Oaks catfish lake record at 70lb !

L ast time out it was 60lb. 

Carp in the 50's and 40's are still coming out week after week.

70lb

Only the week after the lake mirror record was smashed with a 57lb carp the next group of anglers have managed to capture a 50+ Common Carp with Gary Gordons capture at 51lb 06oz.

This is an amazing start to the season for Old Oaks with this being the fifth 50lb carp caught so far in the 2012 season, we can't say weather conditions have been too helpful either and it's only mid April! Not only that but when you check the feedbacks the forties out are starting to outnumber the thirties! and there are relatively few 20's caught by comparison.

We can't wait to see what the next few weeks will deliver.

Gary Gordon with a 50lb common, the fifth so far this season

Dave Dodds is already living the dream and he's only 3 days into his holiday!  First time in France & he's already caught 9 carp - all within 36 hours! All mirrors, weights as follows;

35lb, 42lb, 33lb, 32lb, 47lb, 33lb, 23lb, 42lb

... and the new lake record at 57lb!

He's using pellets, boilies and Mehdi's partiblend.

We'll keep you posted with his results.

57lb - the new lake record!

Congratulations to the Chapman party for a superb week. Dave Dodds landed a 57lb mirror which is the new lake record. Earlier in february, another angler has caught another 55lb which was a different fish.

The Chapman team caught : 3 fifties, 8 forties, 12 thirties and only 6 twenties !

Please check the feedback for the catches details.

Well done again !

57lb

As suggested in the past by a few anglers, we have installed a new light in the toilets part of the facilities.  Also, the gate receiver has been fixed solidly for a more confortable use.

Peg n°5 has been consolidated, some snags removed from the far margins and freezer handle replaced.

Thank you
