Another near sell-out on the eighth round of Fish’O’Mania XXVI at the fantastic Partridge Lakes and conditions for the weekend could not have been more favourable.

A near sell-out of 132 anglers made their way to the newly revamped Lindholme Lakes, in a somewhat sunny Doncaster this Wednesday. The talk at the draw was that bonsai would be most people’s preference, however it ended up that three other lakes also broke the 100lb barrier. What transpired on the day was a […]
Conditions for the 108 anglers who made their way to Heronbrook were a little inconsistent on Saturday, with a biting wind and low overnight temps it was apparent early on that weights would be a little short of the venues summer form.

After a mild week, competitors had to face frost and fog on the way to Moorlands Farm for this latest Fish’O’Mania Qualifier, and with a bright sun on the water the carp were soon up and cruising, but not necessarily feeding early on. That changed in the latter half of the match when plenty […]
