Fishing Report 23 Sept 2012

Average temps: 28 to 17 degrees at dusk

Interesting week at the fishery.

The Bailiff found time to fish the specimen lake for a few hours this week.  He has observed some very big fish feeding under overhanging features which are still to be cut back to make fishable.   However, he landed a pristine 10.5 lb common carp at approx 2.30pm.  It took 20 mins to land and went off like a steam train.  “These fish are very powerful and extremely fit”, The Bailiff says!!

That's 3 x fish landed and one bumped in 8 hrs of fishing over the last two weeks.  Not too bad for a first attempt and very positive feedback for this soon to be open specimen water!!

On the day ticket lake this week.  we have been mostly ....retrieving lost rods!!  Please do not leave your rod and tackle un-attended at any time.  Please remove your line from the water!!  If you want to stretch your legs or leave your peg.

8 x fish landed on Sunday between 5 anglers and a few broke off.

Ryan and Bradley have returned after a long summer and are catching carp again, which seems to be the main reason that they "live and breathe!!"  Good for them!!

Rain due this week...,marvelous!!!

Tight lines and may the force be with you!!

David fished the specimen lake on a 9 am start, Wednesday.  Finished at 3.30pm.  He saw big fish but nothing feeding.

 

Martin fished on Tuesday from 8am to 2.30pm and caught a good tan!!  But that was all.  Although he is still the best angler we have when it comes to breakfast and a brew!!... Excellent company is taken for granted!!!

 

Bailiff and fishery dog, fished the specimen lake for the first time on Saturday from 9am to 4.30pm.

A strong common carp was landed within an hour at 9.7 lbs.  To add to the experience, The Bailiff hooked into what he described as a 'big fish'!! master of understatement!!  He broke off after a 15 min battle with only 5lb bottom line.  Bart fished very simply and with the least fuss!!  He is convinced this is the way forward at the lakes!!..

 

The Bailiff finished his first session on the lake, with a 14 lb mirror carp, landed at approx 2.30pm.

 

"May the force be with you!!"

Tickler of the week

Junior angler Matthew got the fright of his life on Wednesday evening, when rod and reel got away from him at lightning speed and took off across the lake appearing and disappearing, the full length of the day ticket water.

All ended well when the Bailiff and his assistant 'Ali G', (fishery Cocker Spanial!!)  were dispatched...to retrieve lost tackle.  A 12.5 lb common carp was landed by bailiff and released in good order.  Much to the delight of Matthew and his family, all tackle returned, if a little damp!

Alex our marketing man was up at the lakes yesterday for a Twilight Ticket with Michael an avivd angler, friend and client.  As Michael says "its good because HideawayLakes are trying to cater for different types of anglers, not just specimen hunters, so whether you are a 'Pleasure Angler', a complete novice or want a 'Wild Carp Fishing Experience' its there for you".

From our meeting point in Carvoeiro, Joker Bar (just ask for Sara or Alex), he is regularly arranging to take clients or arrange transfers to the lakes.  On arrival they are met usually by John the owner who explains a little about the venture and if they are fishing we deliver them into the safe hands of The Bailiff, who guides them through their experience

With HideawayLakes Portugal's association with PAC (Portugal) Ltd we already have a number of clients who have booked their holidays in villas and apartments who are arranging to go fishing, from clients who have never fished, to those who love fishing. We look forward to seeing more of you soon.
