New PB's for Korda boys. Fishing partners Oscar Thornton and Brad Greening enjoyed a week to remember in France lately, after both banking a new PB! Brad explained: “After a hectic summer hampered by work, work and even more work, a week in France to unwind was exactly what was needed. I ventured off with a group of good friends, one of whom was Oscar Thornton. Having received some goodies from Korda the week before our departure, we were keen to put them to good use!Upon arrival, our other friend immediately chose a swim that offered him access to the top bay of the lake, leaving Oscar and I to double up on a big point, which covered the rest of the entire lake – result! It was evident that the fish were in the far corner of the lake, meaning long-range fishing was on the cards, so we both spooled up with the new tapered SUBline and decided to spread our rods out on the far side where all the fish were showing.

This year’s National Fishing Month (NFM) has shattered its 15,000 target, setting new records for the number of people who were introduced to the sport via more than 300 special events throughout the country. When the final figures are tallied, it is likely that participant numbers will be closer to 16,000, much to the delight of the NFM organisers.
