Week Commencing: Sat 20/10/2018

It’s that time of year again when the Danish descend on The Main Lake, this group of lads are amongst the most constant and successful anglers we have come to us at Gigantica every year. Year after year they produce the goods, this group of talented individuals all fish in a similar manor, which is spreading large baits over a big area and fishing a matching hardened hook bait over the top.This week’s weather was variable, with a mix of sun, cloud and so wind at times. The night time temperature has started to drop going down to around 6 degrees and the day time temperature was an average of 12 degrees. Throughout the week there was a strong westerly wind up until Wednesday when it turned to a northerly to see the week out.

First up was Morten Petersen who decided to go into Bob’s beach, He found a nice area at 25 wraps in-line with The Alamo, so he had all Three rods on this area, the first fish came on Sunday morning around 6am when he landed a 50lb12oz mirror known as “Alcatraz”. Morten was using a Ronnie rig with a snowman presentation with a DT Baits N-Blend Boilie topped with a pink pop up. He was introducing 5kg of DT Baits N-Blend boilies a day. The Next morning “Fudgys” graced the banks at 81lb, The Queen of the Pond was in an immaculate condition and looking fantastic at this time of year. Morten smashed his PB twice this week dreams can come true. 

Anders Frenk decided to go into The Alamo, one of the Danish big casters, he found a nice clean area of gravel at 40 wraps, well out of the reach of most anglers. He decided to put all three rods on this area, in-line with Bob’s Beach. His First fish came on Sunday morning a cracking mirror known as “Black Scales” which went 35lb. Anders was using the German Rig with a DT Baits N blend boilie as his hook bait, he was baiting up every day with 8kg of boilies and yes he was spombing out that far too with a large spomb. The next day he was in again this time with s cracking 50lb2oz mirror called “Baby Brutus”. he went on to have three 2018 Stockies and “Shredder” at 30lb.

Peder was baiting up every day with 8kg of DT baits N-Blend boilies. His first fish came on Monday morning, a 50lb4oz mirror called "The Koi", Anders had the same fish last year out of the same swim I’m sure it like the N-Blend boilies.
