Banana Steve Short Report on Bluewater


I would like to say thanks to everyone who went to Bluewater. I had a great time, I managed my first ever catfish, and luck would have it I landed two, one at 4lb and the other at 35lb.

At least that was 1.5 points to be added to the hunt.
I also managed 3 other good quality carp as well.

25lb Mirror


41lb Mirror

And Finally

29lb 12oz mirror.

Like I said I had a great time, and the company was Fantastic.

Re: Banana Steve Short Report on Bluewater

Some awesome looking fish there Steve, well done...and I DO love the Banana Camp sign

At this point I would also like to say a thanks for the donation of the trophies......shame I didn't slip in to the water, I'm sure then I would have won the banana one
