Pristine specimen finishes off 40 fish summer total. This stunning 35lb linear tops an amazing run of fish for Bristol-rod, Andy Edwards over the last few months after he put in the hours on a well-known Oxfordshire syndicate water. With a string of specimens already to his credit, including a 34lb 6oz mirror and a number of 20s, Andy caught the big linear from the famous Linch Hill using a 1inch chod rig fished to a tight silt area Andy had located in between weed beds. Fishing at 76yards range Andy’s deadly hook bait that has been the secret to his success, was a cork ball wrapped in Pallatrax Jungle paste.

This is our busiest period of the year, so fishing time is at a premium. However, I managed a couple of trips to a local water and caught this, and another chunky common in the mid-twenties. I’ve been trying to improve my floater fishing, something that might take some work I can tell you, but persistence will pay eventually, I’m sure! I’m still getting the odd round of golf in too – remember fishing is just part of our lives, not all of it. MARC COULSON, EDITOR.

Mainly, though, I’ve been spending a lot of time walking and prebaiting my local river. So, hopefully, if all goes to plan, I’ll have something special to show you soon.
