Catch Report Week-42

Posted on November 2, 2026 by richardhandel

🎣 Meadow Lake – Three Lovely Mirrors!

With the weather and gardening jobs not quite going to plan, I headed to Meadow Lake rather than tackle the barrow around Airfield Lake again.


Despite the changing conditions, a little patience and confidence in the spot paid off, producing three lovely mirrors over a couple of nights.

🐟 24lb 6oz Mirror
🐟 18lb 12oz Mirror
🐟 28lb 12oz Mirror – the best of the session!



The fish fell to 24mm Nutrabaits EnerGize Boilies, alongside Jurassic Particles, with Hobo Armour end tackle and my Deeper Sonar Maps+ helping me make the most of the swim.

Sometimes, sitting on your hands and letting the bait do its work is all that’s needed!


With colder weather and rising pressure on the way, I decided to call it a day and head home. A cracking result and three beautiful mirrors to remember!

Until next time, tight lines. 🎣

Stocked Up

🎣 The freezer is stocked and ready for the winter campaign! 🥶

With Meadow Lake and my favourite Club water on the cards over the coming months, I’m looking forward to seeing what winter has in store.

Let’s just hope the cold doesn’t affect me too much this winter! With my circulation, keeping warm on the bank can be a real challenge, but that won’t stop me getting out there and enjoying some peaceful winter carp fishing.

There’s something special about those cold, misty mornings, a steaming brew and the anticipation of what might be lurking beneath the surface. 🎣☕️

Bring on the winter campaign! 💪🐟

That’s All Folks

Posted on October 31, 2026 by richardhandel

That’s all, folks! My time on Airfield Lake is over for another year.

It’s a shame it hasn’t ended on a high with a final capture, but that’s fishing. Nevertheless, it’s been a thoroughly enjoyable three nights on this very special, untouched water.

Airfield Lake has given me some wonderful memories, some incredible carp and plenty of challenges throughout the season. It’s always a privilege to spend time on these waters, and I’ll certainly be looking forward to returning next spring.

Until then, thank you, Airfield. ❤️🎣
