🎣 Another Year. Another Duck Pond Social. 🎣

Some fishing trips become part of the calendar — and this is one of them.

Mitch was back on the Duck Pond this week for another of their yearly socials, joined by his dad Simon and good friends Dean and Levi.

And judging by the number of catch photos they sent us, there was plenty of action along the way! 🐟📸

Most of the fish came to wafters presented in solid bags, with the group making the most of having the Duck Pond to themselves.

But we particularly liked that this wasn't their first trip together.

It's become a yearly event — a few days away, plenty of fishing and another set of memories to add to the previous visits.

🌊 Lake: Duck Pond – Lake Exclusive
🎣 Trip: Annual Fishing Social
👥 Anglers: Mitch, Simon, Dean & Levi
🎯 Tactic: Solid PVA Bags
🦐 Hookbait: Wafters
🌦️ Weather: Cooler and unsettled, reaching 19.9°C with rain, westerly winds and falling pressure.

Thanks for sending all the pictures over Mitch.

Same time next year? 😉🎣

🎣 30 Minutes Left... Time for a Change of Plan! 🎣

A cracking session on Dam Pool for Rian, with three carp coming at three very different points in his visit.

The first came just 30 minutes into the session, before everything went quiet.

It wasn't until sunset that the next opportunity arrived, producing a lovely old common — followed by another quiet spell through to the morning.

Then, with only 30 minutes of the session remaining, Rian spotted the fish feeding on the surface and decided it was time for a change of plan.

He introduced some bread, got them feeding... and one took it almost straight away.

One final common to finish the session! 👏🐟

The other two fish came on Slip-D and Spinner Rigs with 18mm Mainline Cell boilies, but it was adapting to what was happening in front of him that produced that last-minute bonus.

🌊 Lake: Dam Pool
📅 Date: 3rd August 2026
🐟 Catch: 3 Carp
🎯 Rigs: Slip-D & Spinner Rig
🦐 Bait: 18mm Mainline Cell / Bread on the surface
🌦️ Weather: Warm and dry, reaching 28.6°C with easterly winds and falling pressure.

In Rian's words, “all in all it was a mega session.”

Thanks for the brilliant report Rian — and a great bit of angling right at the end! 🎣👏

🎣 A 3am Quarry Common for Luke! 🌙🎣

A cracking 29lb dark common for Luke from Peg 3 on Quarry, caught in the early hours of 1st August.

Fishing over silty w**d, Luke presented a Mainline Essential Cell pop-up on a Stiff Hinge Rig over a bed of bait.

At around 3am, the approach paid off with this lovely dark Quarry common finding its way into the net. 👏🐟

A lovely 22lb 12oz mirror for Aaron from Peg 12 on Quarry, caught on 3rd August. 👏🐟

Aaron found a clear spot and kept the approach simple, fishing a solid bag with a Mainline Clones hookbait to get the result.

Another cracking Quarry carp safely in the net and another report to add to the story of the lake.

🎣 **Four PBs in One Session for 7-Year-Old Jack!** 🎣

This is one of those reports that tells the story far better than simply giving you the weight of the fish.

Seven-year-old **Jack visited Lodge Pool with his dad**, fishing Peg 28 for a 24-hour session — and what a session it turned out to be.

Jack has been fishing since he was just **two years old**, and over the last couple of years he's started joining his dad for carp fishing and nights on the bank.

This time he finished the session having broken his **personal best FOUR times**, eventually taking it all the way up to this fantastic **24lb 10oz mirror!** 👏🐟

And Jack was very much involved in making it happen.

He **picked his own spot and chose his own hookbait**, settling on a small Frank Warwick wafter, with mixed Parker Baits pellets and 15mm boilies around it.

Around 30 minutes after placing the rig, Jack's alarm ripped off.

He jumped into action and started playing the fish himself before it managed to pick up his other line. Dad stepped in to help sort out the chaos, before Jack continued and helped guide his new PB safely into the net.

Dad said he had a feeling it was something special as soon as the fish rolled over the net cord...

**24lb 10oz. New PB. And the fourth PB of Jack's session.** ❤️🎣

🌊 **Lake:** Lodge Pool
📅 **Date:** 27th July 2026
📍 **Peg:** 28
🐟 **Fish:** Mirror Carp
⚖️ **Weight:** 24lb 10oz — New PB
🏆 **Achievement:** 4 PBs in one session
🎯 **Hookbait:** Small Frank Warwick Wafter
🦐 **Feed:** Parker Baits mixed pellets & 15mm boilies
🌦️ **Weather:** Mild and dry, reaching 21.4°C with westerly winds and rising pressure.

And we'll leave the final words to Jack and his dad, who wanted to thank everyone at Baden Hall — with a special mention for **Charlie, our bailiff**, for looking after them during their visit.

Apparently Jack hasn't stopped talking about coming back since. 😊

After a session like that, we're not surprised!

**Brilliant angling Jack. We'll see you both again soon.** 👏🎣

🎣 Four Carp & a New PB! 🎣

Another brilliant report from one of our younger anglers, who enjoyed an “absolutely amazing time” at Baden Hall and finished his session with four carp. 👏🐟

The highlight was this cracking 16lb 9oz carp — a new PB!

It fell to a small solid bag of mini mixed pellets with an Active Krill wafter, and we particularly liked that he even included the weather conditions in his report — 23°C with an 18km/h wind. He's making our job easy! 😂🌦️

🎣 Catch: 4 Carp
🏆 Highlight: New PB
⚖️ Weight: 16lb 9oz
🎯 Tactic: Small Solid PVA Bag
🦐 Bait: Mini Mixed Pellets & Active Krill Wafter
🌦️ Weather: Warm and dry with an easterly breeze and falling pressure.

He'd tried submitting everything through our online catch reports but couldn't quite get it to work, so sent us a couple of emails instead — we're very glad he did.

Congratulations on the new PB and thanks for such a great report. Hopefully we'll see the next one come through too! 👏🎣

🎣 What a Carp for 8-Year-Old Bobby! 👏🎣

A brilliant catch from Middle Pool for young Bobby, who at just 8 years old landed this cracking 21lb common from Peg 11! 🐟

Bobby caught the fish using Essential Cell, with a scattering of loose boilies around the hookbait.

At 21lb that's a fantastic carp for any angler — but at eight years old, it's one Bobby should remember for a very long time. 👏

🌊 Lake: Middle Pool
📅 Date: 30th July 2026
📍 Peg: 11
🐟 Fish: Common Carp
⚖️ Weight: 21lb
🦐 Bait: Essential Cell with loose boilies
🌦️ Weather: A cooler summer day, reaching 21.7°C with north-westerly winds, a little rain and stable pressure.

Well done Bobby — what a fish! 🎣👏

⚠️ Litter, BBQs & Fires — An Important Reminder

With the continued dry weather, we'd like to remind everyone of two important rules when visiting the fishery.

🔥 No BBQs or fires of any kind

This applies across the fishery. With the ground and surrounding vegetation currently extremely dry, the fire risk is simply too high.

🗑️ Please take your litter home

The overwhelming majority of anglers leave their swims exactly as they found them, and we're very grateful for that. Unfortunately, we are still finding litter left behind on occasions.

Baden Hall is a beautiful place to fish and we want to keep it that way. Please take everything you bring with you away again — including line, packaging, bottles, cans and food waste.

These aren't difficult rules, but they are important ones.

Enjoy the fishing. Respect the fishery. Leave your swim as you found it.

Thank you to everyone who already does exactly that. 🎣

A fantastic result for Josh on Quarry, landing this cracking 38lb 3oz common from Peg 13 and setting himself a new personal best! 👏🐟

Fishing at long range over a big bed of bait, Josh presented DNA pop-ups on a Stiff Hinge Rig — and the approach produced a fish he'll certainly remember.

Another superb Quarry common and another PB added to the catch reports. Congratulations Josh! 🎣
