Gary and his son Ollie enjoyed a productive 96-hour session on Bert’s Pool.

First 48 hours (Sunday–Tuesday) – Pegs 7 & 8

* Gary caught a 42lb catfish and a 17lb carp
* Ollie landed two carp weighing 13.5lb and 11lb

Second 48 hours (Tuesday–Thursday) – Pegs 2 & 3

* Gary added four catfish weighing 32lb, 31lb, 28lb and 18lb

A great father-and-son session with a nice mix of carp and catfish from both swims.

Bank Holiday weekend is looking like it’s going to be a warm one ☀️

If you’re heading down to Hillside Fishery, make sure you look after yourselves with plenty of sun cream and water, and just as importantly, plenty of water for the fish too 🐟💦

Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the sunshine. Tight lines from all at Hillside Fishery 🎣

Thanks for the pics pal!
