Jimmy Greenslade is absolutely smashing it over on the Golden Oaks Fishery in Hockley, landing huge numbers of fish despite only just having received his ticket!
Jimmy’s latest session came over the weekend and resulted in the new lake record for the Essex fishery, a 39lb 4oz mirror that goes by the name of Petals.
The best-looking fish of the trip, however, was unquestionably a beautifully scaled mirror known as the Italian, which tipped the scales at 37lb 8oz.
The session also yielded another low thirty and four mid-twenties.
“The Bug is doing the business,” Jimmy.
“For free offerings, I’ve been using a mixture of 12mm, 15mm and 18mm Bug boilies, all soaked in Calanus Hydro and Bug Liquid Food and then coated with Insect Meal, with Bug Corker dumbbell wafters as hookbaits.”
