Hi Nigel,
its Jack Henderson here from Sussex Angling Supplies. Just e-mailing you to inform you of this 39lb 4oz mirror i caught a few weeks back.

I have been fishing at strawberry fields for about 12 months, and only being able to fish 24 hrs every 2 weeks (apart from school holidays) it was a case of getting a feel for the place and observing what was being caught, where it was being caught, the best weather conditions to fish in etc, but with not alot of fish being caught over the winter it was a bit of hit and miss. I was working in SAS on the monday and had to get up the lake as quick as possible to set up before dark, as soon as i got to the lake i saw fish fizzing everywhere and knew this session would be a different ball game as I was the only person there.

I watched a fish bosh out infront of a swim and opted to get set up in there as soon as possible. By the morning I had had 3 fis, the biggest being a 17.4 common and having not caught a fish out of this lake since december I was chuffed to catch with the size being irrelevant, I then saw a fish bosh out in open water and I couldnt have got on my rod quick enough to cast to it, I quickly put on a 5 bait stringer and made the cast. It was only 45 minutes later and it was fish on, I knew it was one of the big girls when the fish was kicking up plooms of silt in 5-6 foot of water, this is the first capture of this fish this year.

After blanking quite a few sessions on the trot, on my last two sessions I've had 22 fish. This is a big confidence boost as I'm fishing the junior BCAC this year. All fish were caught using 15lb hydrolink and freefall tubing, so I would like to thank everyone at RigMarole for your hard work creating your quality products! (P.S this fish was caught about 3 weeks ago, I would have contacted you earlier but I have had computer troubles)

Thanks Again

Jack Henderson
