Jo Green followed up her Road Lake success with a lovely brace from Horton Boat Pool. Here’s Joe’s story:
Having just packed up from a 48hr session on Longfield Road Lake, I popped over to Horton Boat Pool and it just looked spot on for a bite. So, with darkness fast approaching, I set up and cast the rods out to the middle bar with an ESP Short Chod Rig on both and catapulted around 50 boilies over the area. Although it was an uneventful night, I decided to leave the rods where they were – confident they were in a good area, a decision which very shortly afterwards paid off.
I had just started to slowly pack up when the right hand rod peeled off and after a 20 minute battle a lovely looking 27lb 15oz mirror slipped over the cord. I didn’t put the rod back out as I didn’t want to spook any other fish in the area and I was going shortly anyway, more the happy with the mirror I had just had.
But the action wasn’t over, as within an hour of returning the mirror I had a stunning Boat Pool common, known as Orange Chops in the net weighing in at 27lb 13oz!
