XXX - Jamie does it again

Following on from his superb early season captures which included the stunning 43lb 8oz common from his southern syndicate venue, Southampton-based angling hotshot Jamie Walker has waded in with a superb personal best mirror.

Fishing the same venue where he caught on his previous two trips Jamie positioned a bait at around 130 yards carefully dropped into a newly found feature. On casting around he found a 5.5ft deep gully running across a large 3ft deep area- a feature he felt sure would attract some fish at different times during his two night session. During his 48hr visit he fed around 4-5kg onto the spot and was richly rewarded with three fish. The first two being a high double figure ghostie and this fantastic-looking 29lb mirror.

What was to follow was simply unbelievable............ one of the most difficult to catch and sought after fish in the venue (and second largest) was then to be attracted to Jamie’s presentation of Odyssey XXX, Belachan Stick Mix, Feedstim XP, Minamino and maggots and pick up his perfectly presented hookbait.

This cracking 46lb 10oz mirror proved to be Jamie’s new personal best fish by 8oz and really does mark an incredible start to the 2011 season for Jamie. Jamie told us: “The big fish was my new pb by 8oz and was the hardest fighting big fish I have ever encountered. What made the capture of this particular fish so special was that it is a tricky one to catch and usually comes out just once a year.”

A big well done to Jamie from all at CC Moore; keep us posted with the next instalment!!!!
