Bob Lee's fishing reports

Hi all, i have fished lake albert since 2007 if you want peace and quiet, beautiful surroundings and quality fishing, then this is the place for you. My last visit in june gave me a full house I have caught a double a twenty a thirty a fourty and to top it all a fifty. I have visited the lake probably 6 or 7 times and have never failed to catch a thirty pounder. My first two trips to the lake one for 3 nights and one for 4 nights culminated in me catching 56 fish including 16 thirties to 38lb, 36 twenties and 4 doubles in fact on the 4 night trip i had to pull my rods in so i could get some sleep before driving home.
Obviously as the fishing pressure has increased the fishing has become a little harder, but the size of fish has increased remarkably, i have hooked a fish i think twice, and lost it unfortunately that both Rod and i [we have seen it once i had it at the net] believe would easily break the lake record it fights like a demon, i had it on for over 30 min every time i got it near the net it would take 30 yards of line i was gutted.


Rod will let you do your own thing, but if you are struggling will give you all the advice you could need and will also place your baits with his bait boat. He is a great bloke and likes the occasional social, he especially likes it when i cook for him.
Back to the fishing the last trip in june 4 days the weather was against us, well hot in the thirties every day, i took my father in law a seasoned fisherman but limited experience of carp fishing his pb was double figures he ended up bagging a 38lb mirror along with 5 other fish to 34lb i ended up at last catching a fourty 42-08 to complete the full house and 4 other fish to mid 30's [how long is it going to be b4 a 60lb fish is caught] not long i think, i hope its me!!
I am going back soon, hopefully oct if not dec [it fishes in the winter aswell]
Good luck all Bob
