Friendly trip yields fish to 60lb 12oz. Danny Fairbrass has been out to the fantastic Gigantica Lake, in France, this time taking some of his closest friends with him.

'Secret Tactic' yields rich rewards!Matt Jackson’s recent roll of success continues and there’s a secret tactic behind it!The Korda backed ace explained: “It seems that the run of luck that started on my first trip back to the big pit has continued. In the last three trips back I have now managed six fish in total, including another two 40lb plus mirrors and a 38lb common. So that’s mirrors of 30lb, 37lb, 41lb, 41lb 8oz and 43lb 8oz and a common of 38lb in three weeks fishing! Considering the lake is still rammed out and only one or two other guys have even caught in the last three weeks it makes the result even more satisfying. Since the first fish I have changed the approach slightly to compete with the pressure and hopefully give myself an edge over the other anglers.
