APRIL 2011 - THE HEAVY WEIGHTS MOVE IN.I must just mention that three of my regular anglers/customers,Paul Milkins,Trevor Curtis and Russell Salmon were all fishing on the back of Flamer IV and collectively they weighed 65 stone.However in the heavy weight fish stakes Russell Salmon came out trumps when he landed an 18Ib Turbot.Russell was using 20Ib class tackle and the successful bait was a fillet of Ammo mackerel.Paul and Trevor also both caught a turbot each but no were near as big as Russell's large flatty.Russell from Somerset had caught very little on his previous trips this year but his patience and persaverance was rewarded.Russell is pictured with his 18 pounder.
