He snared the impressive fish using white choc action boilies. Coppice continues to fish well with the warm weather we are currently experiencing.

BRADFORD PALS AC: With the lake fully pegged out for two matches and the water level down by two feet, it was always going to be difficult in Sunday’s match at Lindholme (Loco Lake), so well done to those who framed.
