The last week on Le Moulin du Mee
Le Moulin du Mee saw the 5 anglers produce some cracking fish despite the weather doing its best to spoil the fun. Temperatures dropped to freezing overnight from tuesday onwards and a cold north easterly wind added its own chill to things. With the sudden temperature drop it would be expected that the carp would prove elusive however most nights and some days would see a great many big fish crashing and topping all over the lake. Most pick ups came overnight or early in the morning with the hooked fish fighting very hard and in superb condition for the time of year.
The final count was 50 carp and included some new pb's for the lads with Mark banking a leather of 44lb plus a mirror of 40lb 12 oz and Andy managing a first 40 at 40lb8oz. In addition to the 3 x 40's there were 13 good 30's and 30 x 20's with most of them being over the 25lb mark. Finally there were also 4 high doubles in the bag. Another good fish was found tethered to a marker pole by about 20m of line and when eventually netted it turned the scales at 45lb !! Once again we also experienced a lot of hook pulls at various stages of the fight so the total could well have been a good bit higher. With warmer weather set to return later in the coming week we may yet see that first 50 on the bank !!
Fingers crossed.
