Phil Cochrane round up of the last 12 months! April 22
Phil Cochrane is back! Showing us some of his fish over the last 12 months
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen I’m back on the bank surprise,surprise 
. I got here Friday morning and was lucky enough to find swim11 empty 
. The fishing was going to be hard due to the weather conditions a biting north easterly wind and temperature barely reaching double figures during the day and dropping to -3/-4 overnight 
which was going to make my task of catching an April cat hard
. The weekend I didn’t get a bite but on Monday the weather changed for the better the wind started blowing from the west south west and temperatures rose accordingly . Monday evening around 21:00 my left alarm screamed off and I was into my first cat off the session 
not massive at 46lb but more importantly an April cat which means that I had caught a cat every month Consecutively for 12 months .
