Alder Gives Up a 30lbs+ Mirror – Ben McDonnell

May 1, 2019Cottington Lakesnews

A recent overnight session on Alder left Ben McDonnell with a haul of 5 fish, including one 30lbs + Mirror.

But first out of the bag was this 17lb 9oz common, which Ben landed using Casual Carpers Salted Caramel:

 

An overnight alarm call left Ben with a lovely Koi, also landed using Salted Caramel. Weighing in at 16lbs 7oz this is a new pb for Ben:

Next up came a smaller Common weighing about 13lbs and landed using Casual Carpers Spiced Krill. A quick catch and release, so no photo.

Saving the best to last (well nearly last), Ben brought this stunning Mirror, weighing 32lbs 1oz, onto the bank, another victim of the Salted Caramel:

And just when he thought it was all over this lovely Mirror made an appearance:

On the bank at 27lbs 4oz.

Ben was fishing from peg 12.
