In Pursuit of the Largest

Product Information

Outlining five suggestions to advance counter-terrorism efforts in Africa, Ms. Mohammed reminded that “ prevention remains our best response”. Myself and Joe Goldson from Liverpool teamed up together, and opted to fish an area in the main body of water to the left of the hotel known as the ‘Gypsy Village’. My thanks to a couple of the ‘regulars’ who had fished this area in the past, they offered some handy advice on features to look out for. From here we could cover a huge amount of water, with the plan being to move after three nights if we didn’t manage to get amongst some decent fish. We had a huge area of water in front of us, this had to be a good choice. During the course of the second week, the average size was still creeping up, with many thirties to 37.5 lbs and two more forties. This included a Common of 42 lbs and a Mirror of just under 44 lbs. Also included are tales and footage from Oxfordshire's Big S, the Test Valley's Nutsey, The Big Pit, The Lea Valleys Relief Channel, Sonning Eye, Linch Hill's Christchurch, Longfield's Road Lake, and of course, the mighty Burghfield, near Reading, home to one of the most prized and elusive commons in the country. All that and more; well over three hours of precious archive footage for the price of a round of drinks...that's got to be good value. Lake Raduta is approximately 2500 acres, situated in the Sarulesti Valley, approximately an hour away from Bucharest Airport. From Heathrow, the flight to Bucharest is more or less three hours.

It appeared that the baits in the deeper water were producing slightly bigger fish, coincidence ?? I didn’t think so, and started to move the hookbaits away from the beds of baits into the deeper water. In the first four nights, I had 39 fish to 40.5 lbs, this being a Common and a personal best Common to boot !! Strangely, I had a 34lb Mirror and the very next day had the same fish from exactly the same spot !!! The deeper water was consistently producing bigger fish. In closing, the Deputy Secretary-General welcomed the planned October 2023 Summit on counterterrorism in Africa as an opportunity to consider ways to strengthen the UN’s efforts across the continent overall. The skyline beyond the northern suburbs of Mogadishu is seen through a bullet hole in the window of a hotel in Somalia. From economic deprivation to organized crime and governance challenges, “the magnitude of the problem calls for bold investment”, she told ambassadors. And being so influenced by Terry’s methods of concentrating on location and pinpoint bait placement I spent most of my next session up a tree doing my monkey impressions while observing the carp’s behaviour below. I even bagged a common using the Terry Hearn Stiff Rig but that’s another story and probably another review………I’ve fished many of the biggest carp waters throughout Europe and the rest of the World, but Raduta really is something special. ‘The Jewel In The Crown’ ??, maybe, I doubt if there are many more waters out there with the kind of statistics that Lake Raduta can boast…. I loved reading every single word of it and it made me feel as though I was part of the big carp scene and could catch a record beater even though I never fish the big carp waters and there aren’t that many big fish up north! I’m in absolute awe of Terry’s achievements. He’s the Alan Shearer of the fishing world and is (if not already) becoming an angling icon that youngsters look up to.

Chairing the meeting with his country assuming the presidency of the Council for November, Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, attested to the importance of restoring effective State authority and promoting inclusive governance across the continent. He also urged the Council to support AU-led counter-terror operations, including with predictable funding. Perhaps In Pursuit Of The Largest is more suited to the modern day carp angler, who is boilie, buzzer, bolt rig and bivvy oriented and who has a knowledge of the circuit waters, than to your Chris Yates type carp angler, but nevertheless the book is a fantastic read for all. There are only a couple of criticisms that I can raise that is in the Rig Talk chapter Terry doesn’t detail his bait ingredients. I know he mentions his favourite chocolate malt flavoured birdfood boilies and his deadly monster pursuit baits but we mere mortals want to emulate Terry and if he gave us the precise details of flavours and their inclusion levels we could get a bit closer. Roused at first light on the Sunday morning, to get our first view of the lake. Wow, there I was looking out across Hotel Bay (as the area of water in front of the hotel is known) with the famous Pylon swim to my left and an area known as the plateau to the right. Both areas that I knew had produced fish in excess of 70 lbs, unbelievable.

One legislative amendment that has been attracting considerable interest in recent months is the Renewable Energy Directive ( RED ). The RED sets a target for the level of renewable energy in the overall EU energy mix, as well as defining which energy sources can be considered ‘renewable’ and therefore contribute to the target. The previous RED set a target of 32% renewable energy by 2030, under the Fit for 55 amendments this share has increased to 40%. For those of you that think Raduta is ‘easy’, think again, many many people who go blank. We worked very hard for every fish banked. Thanks to everyone out there who helped with info, you know who you are guys !! In Pursuit of the Largest, 'the DVD', a collection of carp fishing clips filmed between 1996 and 2009. First job, after we’d been dropped off by boat at the swim, was to get out with the echo sounder and see what we had in front of us. With a mile of bank space for just Joe and I, there was a lot of rowing to be done !! I found a very sexy plateau, ranging in depth from 10 feet at it’s edge dropping sharply to 27 feet. Very carpy, just had to be the spot.
