The Big Common is the first of the recently stocked 30lb plus Carp to be caught from Jimmy’s Lake and at 33lb 8oz it breaks the record for the biggest fish landed to date at borwickfishing.co.uk. It’s fitting that the captor was Andy Peel from nearby Lancaster, the first member of the borwickfishing .co.uk syndicate. Since that capture the fish has been landed another twice, once at the same weight and just 4oz lighter at 33lb 4oz. Andy followed up his catch by taking original resident “Popeye” at 28lb some 5lbs heavier than the first time it was caught at 23lb. “Popeye” has come out another twice at 28lb. On the latest occasion it fell to borwickfishing.co.uk regular, Liam Briggs as part of a 5 fish catch which included newly stocked “Bullet” also at 28lb as well as Mirrors of 18lb, 14lb and 13lb and a Common of 22lb, 2 days later, followed up by Commons of 26lb and 21lb and MIrrors of 20lb, 17lb and 13lb. Stuart Taylor had a superb home grown Common of 28lb, another fish that is likely to top the magic 30lb in the next few months.

Following his 5 fish catch, Liam Briggs returned two days later to do even better. He was soon into some fine Commons landing fish of 26lb and 25lb and a very long fish of 22lb which had obviously just spawned and is one to watch as it piles the weight back on. The next day he caught Moonscale for the second time. She too had spawned and weighed just 30lb, some 3lb 8oz down on the last time Liam caught her. Last year she put on an incredible 9lb 8oz from her post-spawning weight. Moonscale took Liam’s total 5 day catch to 22 fish , including a 7lb 2oz Tench. Just Days later The Big Common was out again to Ryan Dewhirst at 34lb.

The Tench have been active in Jimmy’s Lake, too for another borwickfishing.co.uk syndicate member. Alan Billington, had 17 Tench in an overnight session with best at 7lb 11oz and 7lb 2oz, with a 13lb Carp thrown in for good measure. A few days later in a daytime session, he had another dozen but this time stalking tactics produced Carp of 15lb, 13lb and 12lb and a beautiful 14lb Ghostie. A Wels Catfish of 21lb has also been reported.
