Zenia fished her home venues new Nirvana syndicate lake and had success beyond her dreams….read her story below…
Those of you that know me, will know that even though I live at Anglers Paradise, I don’t actually get much time to go fishing because of my role at AP! I literally live, eat and breathe AP, and that is my life, but I love seeing so many different walks of life here, seeing day to day, anglers catching PB’s, people making memories and of course kids and adults catching their first fish and gaining a passion for fishing from what we do…I love it! It means the world to me!
Every other week during the peak season months, I get a few hours to myself and because my time is limited, I go in search of the fish, stalking and surface fishing.
This session was a 40th birthday wish as it had been years since I was gifted ‘time’ to actually go night fishing and to have any longer than 5 hours, this is a big treat for me!! So a day/night/day session was more than I could ever wish for and also with my amazing husband which was a blessing on its own that we could have this time together doing what we love most!!
When my husband said that he wanted me to be the one to christen and fish the new Nirvana Syndicate, I was blown away and haven’t stopped thinking about it since!
Nervous, excited and butterflies going crazy, after dropping off our youngest, the time had finally come to go FISHING!!!
I was going to savour every minute being there, and that I did, catching would be a bonus as I really had no idea what was about to happen…
The first day was extremely windy and very challenging with the baiting pole!! After the traps were set, it was time to wait after several attempts getting the rigs and bait in place.
Plenty of pellet and crushed Monster Tiger Nut Boilies were planted and the Carp were already feeding which was a very good sign!
It ended up being the best Carp Red Letter Fishing session of my life!
Never did I think I would catch one forty…but TWO!!! 2 Grass Carp to 32lbs and a 29lb Mirror!
After catching my personal best and Common Complex Record at 44lbs, I honestly never expected it to get any better…
But then it happened, we’d just finished a beautiful dinner that my husband cooked, steak 
, broccoli, asparagus and a jacket potato, absolutely delicious! Then, all of a sudden, my right hand rod screams off!!
, broccoli, asparagus and a jacket potato, absolutely delicious! Then, all of a sudden, my right hand rod screams off!!Another amazing fight, I knew this was going to be a big Carp! It was one of the most nerve wracking moments in my life praying that she’d eventually caress my net, which she did.
I was literally shaking, and after seeing the size of her, I cried, it was a moment I’ll never forget, I looked at Joe and he was in disbelief too, we both were just in shock, this session was just insane and so special, and one I will be eternally grateful for.
My new personal best 45lb Mirror, what a Fish!!!
I’m proof that Fishing Dreams can come true, and it was the best dream EVER!!!
Thank you to my amazing husband for making this trip possible, looking after me, just being a wonderful husband and not forgetting cooking for me like a Queen, and to friends Toby and Emma for having the boys to make this HAPPEN!!! I love you all and will be eternally grateful
