Latest report from Joanne Combes at the ever prolific Stafford Moor:-

Nick Galley who was fishing here with his dad Lee Galley on the beach swim on Beattie’s this week in a 48 hour session. Nick had a personal best 13 years ago at 22lb 8oz but smashed that 4 times in 2 days here ! First he had a 25lb 8oz then after smashing his record 4 times over ended up with a 30lb 4oz beauty pictured below, using Lees home made BLACK MAGIC BAIT that he has made for years. Between them they had 11 fish out and went home very happy !
