A couple of weeks of prebaiting and just four nights’ angling was all Myles Wasley needed to get his hands on his target fish from a big southern pit, an incredible low-forty mirror known as the Big Linear.

A boiling-hot week on Heron Lake on the Abbey Lakes complex saw Andrew Murphy move swims on three separate occasions, but he got his reward with a nine-fish catch that included a fifty and five big forties.

Roger Bacon notched up fifty number four of the year and his 11th in total from Grenville Lake this week thanks to the capture of a 52lb 10oz mirror in sweltering conditions!
