Oxfordshire Round Up
Oxford and Oxfordshire Reports from the Oxford Mail……
Chris Lowe travelled down from West Bromwich for a 48-hour stint on Linear’s Manor Farm Lake and wasn’t disappointed.
He spodded out a mixture of particles and broken SBS Lobworm boilies and then attached these boilies to his rig.
He banked a mirror weighing 35.2.0, plus five 20s, the best going 26.0.0.
When Oxfordshire specimen hunter Alan Storey is not catching huge roach and perch, he targets the Thames around Oxford in search of its large chub.
For several weeks Alan has been doing some short evening sessions on the river. After accurately baiting up in the margins, he captured three chub, all over 6lb, the best going 6.15.0.
He used a paste-wrapped Heathrow Baits Service Super Stench boilie.
Northampton carper Vincent Cripps visited Milton Pools over three consecutive days and had 20 carp from the water, near Wheatley.
His catch included two large carp weighing 33.10.0 and 31.6.0, plus four 20s and numerous other nice fish.
All of them fell to either hair-rigged maggots or Elite Baits pop-up boilies.
Casting to rising fish, Frazer Gascoigne, from Chesterfield, banked a smashing 30.12.0 mirror carp from Orchid Lake at Dorchester.
Frazer also had carp weighing 23.2.0 and 16.7.0.
All his fish fell to Carp Company icelandic red caviar and cranberry pop-up boilies mounted on a 4-inch stiff hooklink. The big carp was taken at 70 yards over a gravel bar.
