Growing Like Stink

Another decent week on Mustang with lots of decent fish visiting the bank. The best hit was taken by John Goodyear who had 28 takes, landed 24 fish for a combined weight of 330lb from peg 9 in four days. Well done John, top angling  - you made it look easy!
Several other 20s cam out, which have all started to put the weight back on after spawning. Big Scaley also made an appearance at 31lb 4oz for Sean Rafferty in peg 13. Sean smashed his 14lb pb with Mustangs most sought after carp fishing just 15 yards out using Monster Squid boilies (Nash Plug - sorry).
I had a tuition session in peg 2 with Jason Allen and we had to work hard for our bites, but we manged three takes in the day and I enjoyed helping a good angler gain lots more confidences in his rigs n baits plus master the art of casting / feeling the lead down (a huge edge anywhere).
One of the best carp I saw on the bank in the last few days was a 19lb 4oz Sutton strain mirror that I stocked in November at 16lb. This fish had was even spawned out!
Good quality boilies, corn and carp pellets are doing the business as usual. The fish are coming from all over at the moment.
Hope you like the pic's.
