White Springs
   Fishery

Chris Andrews (15) and his friend Jack Lewis (15) both from Birchgrove, fished the Specimen Lake for the first time on a 24 hour session overnighter in the New Cabin Swim. With his Shimano Vengeance rods and Shimano Big Bait Runner Long Cast reels and using the CC Moore Live System Baits he pulled in a lively 15lb 10oz Mirror Carp on Monday night (shown above) and a lovely 16lb Mirror on Tuesday morning (shown below).

His personal best is currently standing at 23lb 14oz Mirror and Chris loves White Springs for the big lakes and the big fish, his advice to up and coming anglers is to use the margins and above all to be patient. He says that too many people these days throw a line in and expect to catch and too many people of his age haven't got the patients, you gotta have the patients!. He enjoys fishing for the buzz of catching a fish and the atmosphere of fishing with the boys but above all he enjoys the peace and quiet that comes with fishing on such stunning lakes such as the Specimen Lake. Normally found on the Pit he decided to brave the big waters of the Specimen lake here at White Springs to go after the big fish that the lake is famous for and a good result for his first attempt at fishing the Infamous Specimen Lake. Well done Chris Andrews and we hope to see you back here more often.
