Bossing ’em on Bossard!
Anthony Killick’s second visit of the year to Lake Bossard in France produced two 50-pounders, the highlight of which was a 53lb 4oz common.
The 53-year-old traffic officer from Redhill said the fishing was slow compared to his summer visit, presumed due to the lack of anglers on the venue recently and a lack of bait going into the lake, but as well as the common, he also managed a 51lb 8oz mirror, three forties to 46lb and four thirties to 38lb, so not bad going at all!
Anthony targeted a hard area in open water, which he baited with 12mm, 15mm and 18mm chopped, crumbed and whole Secret 7 boilies, Crayfish Maxi Mix pellets and particles.
Hookbait-wise, Anthony alternated between 15mm and 18mm Secret 7 wafters.

The second biggest of the trip at 51lb 8oz
