Andy Hoopers group from Kent and Dorset were next to join us.
Craig Hooper (Dorset) blanked on his previous trip to us but he made up for it this time with 12 fish, 1 x 40, (a 41.14 mirror) 5 x 30’s and 6 x 20’s – good angling Craig!.
Andy Hooper (Kent) was back to try and capture one of the big commons that Moulinots is renowned for, and this he managed on Monday morning when he had a new PB at 50.04, which he was pretty chuffed with! Andy also had 2 x 40’s (the same fish 4 days apart!), 4 x 30’s and 1 x 20, a great result for you Andy, and we know how pleased you were with the common, well done.
Michael Burrows (Kent) also managed to beat his PB when he caught the Cut Tail common at 52.07lbs (spawned out), he also had 1 x 40, 2 x 30’s and 2 x 20’s. Michaels pictures are on the gallery page on the website and on our Facebook page, they are really worth a look!
New boy Lee Crook beat his PB no fewer than 3 times with the biggest fish being a 50.08 mirror, and he also had 2 x 40’s, 1 x 30 and 2 x 20’s, alas Lee didn’t get any pictures of the fifty as it managed to get out of the recovery sling whilst Lee was waiting for one of the other lads to come round and take the photographs! Lee knows what I thought of that and he was rewarded his ‘prize’ on Saturday morning prior to leaving!!
Mike Wilton only had 1 fish but this was also a new PB at 43.12, so not a bad catch.
Gareth also only managed to land 1 fish, a mid thirty after losing countless fish. Not a bad result as temeperatures were in the mid to high 20’s and some fish were still spawning.
Total fish for the week was 36
Average weight 33.09 lbs

This week we were joined by a mixture of anglers.
Anthony Briggs (Holland) who is one of our most frequent visitors was back for his second trip this year after a not very productive session for him back in early April. This time was a totally different story after having 2 x 30’s and 2 x 20’s Anthony moved up one swim and changed his  bait and managed to smash his PB for a mirror when he landed one of our big girls at 58.04lbs, great move Ant and really well deserved.
Robin Martin and his brother in law John Pound (Sussex) were back for their second visit after struggling early last year, and Robin rewrote the record books again when he managed to have 2 x 60’s in the week, one at 60.12 and the other at 60.01lb!! This is a first for Moulinots, and Robin also had 1 x 50, 7 x 40’s, 2 x 30’s and 2 x 20’s a truly great week in anyone’s book. Robin also had the time to help out when some of the other lads were struggling, a very unselfish thing to do, thanks Robin and well done on your amazing week.
John faired a bit better than last year having 4 fish.
Darren Irani (Surrey) was top rod with 18 fish including, 3 x 40’s, 4 x 30’s and 11 x 20’s, a great result on your first trip, lets hop you can get amongst the bigger fish in September Darren.
Danny Birch and his friend Carl (Norfolk) doubled up in the Dead Tree swim and managed 17 fish between them, Danny having 14 of these, 2 x 40’s, 5 x 30’s and 7 x 20’s. Carl’s fish were all in the 20’s.
Robert Godfrey (Norfolk) was joining us for his first french fishing trip, along with his partner Donna.  Robert only managed to bank 1 mid twenty while he was with us, but I’m sure you’ll get amongst them next time we see you Robert , and thanks to you and Donna for the gifts you left us, we look forward to seeing you both in September 2016.
Now to the other 3 lads who come to us from Holland – Kevin Doherty (Irish!) had 2 mid thirties, Craig Bolton (English!) had a mid twenty and Craig Brown (Scottish!) sadly didn’t catch this time after trying various different tactics, it just wasn’t meant to be this time Craig.

Another good week overall especially after the previous weeks results, although very mixed from one angler to another.

Next we were joined by another regular group that we look forward to seeing every year.
Paul Vickerstaffs group mainly from Surrey have been coming to Moulinots for many years and had never turned up when the fish are starting to spawn, sadly this year was the exception!
Only 13 fish were landed all week but there was still a special moment on their final day when Stuart Creed (Surrey) managed to beat the lake record and land the first common over 60 lb when he caught the Dip Back common at 64lbs!! A very special moment for all that witnessed it, thanks lads for the early morning call, it was great to see her. Stuart had 2 other fish during the week at 34 and 23lbs.
Newboy Mitch ‘Derek’ Plowman (Surrey) had 4 fish, 1 x 40, 2 x 30’s and 1 x 20. Not a bad result Derek, hopefully see you back in October if your allowed!
Dale Vickerstaff had 2 fish in the 20’s, so also lost the wager he had with Stuart!!
Dave ‘Sir Pellanore’ Pritchard (some weird golf club name!) had one fish a 34.12mirrror.
Paul also only managed 1 (very welcome though) fish a 33.00 mirror.
Cliff Creed also left it late, as did Neil ‘Freddie’ Pentecost with 1 carp each at 36.06 and 25.12 respectively.
A very, very hard week was had by all but Stuarts last minute capture of the common at over 60lb made things seem a little sweeter!
Look forward to the younger members’ return in October when team Creed/Wills will show the rest of you how it’s done!!! (Well I hope so).
