Blavet Valley Lakes - brace of 50+ commons !!!

Hi All,

Hope you all had a great Xmas and New Year.

The latest update from us all at Blavet is that between Christmas and New Year Gordon decided to go and wet a few lines. On Tuesday he caught 1 x 23.8 and 1 x 25.4. Went down for a few hours on Wednesday and about 7.30 p.m. he called me on the radio to come down with the camera as he had a big fish sacked up, I went down to find him playing another fish - he landed it and ended up with 2 x commons 1 x 53.9lbs and another 55.2lbs - in absolutely stunning condition, we knew they were in there but we supprised how big they had got, and who knows how big they will get before spawning. As you can imagine we are both extactic with these catches, no only are they our first commons over 50lbs but both are new p.b.s for Gordon as well. (caught from the Rails swim)

The fish are moving about well and the fish feeder (feeding the fish every 12 hours) helps no end.


With regards to everyone that has been emailing regarding how Gordon's recovery is going after the stroke he suffered in September, well he is making fantastic progress and we are nearly ready for the start of the new season. Thanks to you all for your best wishes.

All the very best - Berny, Gordon and Ross

p.s Can someone please send me their email address so I can send them some photos to post for me - thanks
