The 33lb 8oz ‘social’ mirror
Daren ‘Tinpot’ Norman has been getting amongst them again with a couple more stunners, good angling Tinpot!
‘After my brace of p.b.’s I had two nights angling the next week and my lucky roll continued. I went to another lake for a bit of a celebration social with a few mates and managed to get near the fish as my mate had caught a 36 lb pb himself on the morning I got down.I fished all 3 rods in close next door and after lots of lovely times with the fellas I had a hard fighting 33.08 mirror the next morning, happy days!
I packed up at mid day and went to my other lake for 24 hours. Nothing seemed to be happening in my chosen swim during the night and early morning so after looking at the forecast I moved swims to an area I thought they would turn up in if the sun got up. I got the rods perfectly on the spots at 8.30 am and 2 hours later much to my amazement, one was away and after a good fight I landed another very big fish.
42lb 4oz – Tinpot’s 20th UK forty!
On the scales she went 42lb 4oz and is my 20th UK 40, something I never dreamed i’d say! I can’t quite believe how well things are going but hope they carry on just a little bit longer.I used krill wafters on my usual set up of 15lb Syncro XT, ESP tubing, lead clip to Tungsten Loaded braid and a size 5 chod rig on the end.’
