Molyneux Report – 7th May Week

No sooner had the previous weeks weather arrived, causing mayhem in it’s wake, than it started to dissipate. Saturday morning dawned bright and clear, and the prospect for the following seven days was for it to remain that way, with warmest temperatures of the year so far… More importantly the night time temperatures were high so hopefully plenty of fishy activity.

This weeks guests were in part making their third trip to the lake. Kev, Tim, Ryan and Paul had all visited us for the previous two years, and enjoyed some success on their trips. They had two new friends with them this time, John and Neil. We of course welcomed them, and had a little look around the lake as you do…

The draw was nail biting, Paul came out number 1 so drew Barn swim, John chose Social 1, Tim decided upon the Double, Neil went up to Jacks in the hope they would seek out shallow water. Kev chose the Cabin swim, and Ryan picked Social 2.

The weather did indeed hold, in fact it improved almost daily, hot and sunny and warm at night, with only the odd warm shower to punctuate the sunbathing.…  It was as if this is what the fish had been waiting for. They moved out of the deep and very shallow water, Yeah I know, weird isn’t it! and out into the main body of the water and in dire danger of actually getting hooked. The guys fished well, and worked hard for their fish. when they came it was thick and fast action, with many big fish caught and a few dropped off the hook. The disappointment didn’t last too long though and the guys went after another…

John started the week off on Saturday night with a 39lb 3oz mirror so it is only right I start with his catch report for the week….Mirrors of 39lb 3oz, 25lb 8oz, 25lb 12oz, 29lb 8oz, 21lb 12oz, 30lb 4oz, 33lb 8oz, 40lb 4oz, 30lb, 34lb 4oz, 34lb 4oz, 30lb, and 27lb 8oz.
