Well Hello again,

Day 2 of the digger working around the lake at the Lodge, destroying more homes we have built! We are definitely not happy but Gary seems pleased with the work Philippe has done.

I heard Gary say that he is off to the Cabin next to work over there, I'd better get a message to my lot over there quickly to prepare them for the onslaught!

Gary has made another video for you all (see below)

Hello All, 

Me and my mates used to have loads of flats around the island at the lodge Lake until Philippe and his digger turned up and smashed up our homes. Now we're gonna have to rebuild and see if we can get on Grand Designs!   

Hello again,

They've had another delivery at the Cabin, 14 pike and 2 big buckets, about 70kg of Roach and Rudd

I did notice that Gary pressed the wrong button on the video so he didn't get a video of the pike only the roach! What can I say, not a techie then!!

Well you've got 2 short videos to see more bloody fish going in the cabin!

See you soon,

Hello All,

Had a visit to the Cabin today and saw a whole load of koi being delivered to the big lake and lots of smaller ones for the small lake.

What beautiful fish they are, all colourful and patterned they will really add some variety to your catches..

The owners kindly took a couple of videos for you all to have a look at what they put in.

Enjoy,

Please help raise money for Winnie, go along to the The Kent Fishing Show this weekend and buy a raffle ticket 

http://www.kentfishingshow.co.uk

All money raised at the show will be used to send Winnie to disneyland and any money left over will be used to buy the children Christmas presents on the McElwain childrens ward at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Surrey.

We've had a honeymoon, and now another first at Lodge Lakes, a wedding proposal.......and Dan most definitely proposed in style, albeit risky!!

SMOOTH Dan tied the engagement ring onto the end of his line, cast it out into the lake (luckily not into the silt!) and then asked Kirsty to reel his rod in to change his boilie where she found the ring....

Thinking about it Dan, it was a good job that the pike didn't go for it sparkling in the water as Kirsty was reeling it in!!

Words couldn't discribe the excitement when Steve caught the first 41lb Mirror at the Cabin. 

All Steve could do was reel his rods in and celebrate......Congratulations Steve.

(catch report to follow later today, keep checking the latest catches for updates)

After a long wait 5 30lb+ carp have been put into the Cabin along with a sturgeon.

2 at 32lb, 1 at 34lb, 1 at 35lb, 1 at 39 and 1 sturgeon (sorry forgot to take a picture of the sturgeon)

We are just waiting on some koi and grasses, hopefully arriving in May.

At last we have some great photo's of the accommodation at The Cabin, we can now look forward to welcoming people into the brand new, comfortable and modern living space.  Work now turns to the outside, the septic tank has been installed and we now have to put back all the earth and re-grass it !

Had a friend helping me do some work at The Cabin and he brought his 3 boys to have an afternoon fishing and this is what they caught......

Hello again,

Dale and his mates had a bad week fishing with the rain and too much partying.... they were just saying their goodbyes and posing for a picture at the normal place ( the corner of the veranda ) when they disappeared out of photo shot ......I looked over the top of the camera and they had fallen 4 ft, Amazingly not one of them fell in the water!!!!

Welcome to our new look site for 2011. It was all designed around our new logo that we had design for us and we hope you all like the look, find it easy to navigate around and enjoy some new additions, i.e. the new social bar, our hot deals page, and the new welcome video to entertain you!! I must say that I am no news reader and it could probably do with a lot more editing, but then I don't think there would be anything left to see!!! It was very hard to do but hopefully it adds a new twist.....

Please let us know your thoughts, good or bad, we welcome all comments.

Many thanks Roland for submitting your comment (to view pls see comment under "Rumours" blog)......

It's funny you responding to my blog, as I was going to mention you in the blog referring to your comments during your stay about how the fish had just finished spawning as a lot of them had very soft squidgy bellies! and how this also contributes to weight loss during the season............But as we all know we can go on and on with reasons for weight loss...

Rumours, Rumours, Rumours................!

As most of my customers know, I am a straight talking, no nonsense, and honest bloke.........and as forums are the best way to find out about the good and the bad lakes, it kind of annoys me when I hear that there has been a few comments posted on forums stating that I have taken a few 40's out of the lake on the last drain down in 2009.

40lb 2oz Caught Today AT LAST!!!!!
I am so glad to say that Steve has caught a 40lb 2oz mirror today which has been a long time coming this year.
