Dennis Willetts Masterclass Day Decoy Lakes

brilliant catch Dennis
This was a special surprise present from Dennis’s daughter Marie and granddaughter Beckie. His nephew Rob had also come along for the day. The wonderful Decoy lakes near Whittlesey in Cambridgeshire was the chosen venue. Diane the owner had kindly allowed them to use keepnets.
Dennis with his first fish
It was a warm overcast morning with a moderate southerly wind. I decided that Elm lake would be a good choice.
Rob with his first fish
Pole at 8 mts was the chosen method, cupping in a big pot of 4mm hard feed carp pellets and then loose feeding over the top, 4mm banded pellet was the hookbait. Rob was soon catching really quickly. Dennis had a slower start but he was catching quality common and mirror carp averaging over 5lbs. By 2pm Rob had reached his net limit and was returning fish as he caught them.

We left the bank at 4pm Dennis having had a brilliant day catching over 100lbs of carp. Rob had caught even more I guess close to 150lbs.
