Nine years ago, Greg Lane caught his first 3lb rudd, but with a young family to bring up since then, his fishing time has been limited to say the least.

However, he recently managed to get back out and over two short sessions in the space of a week he landed a trio of ‘threes’!

Fishing a Norfolk gravel pit with Method feeder tactics and 10mm pop-ups, Greg caught a fish of 3lb 2oz on his first session.

He returned a few days later, arriving at 4:30am, and targeted a shallow plateau that he’d prebaited the evening before with 10mm Cell boilies and corn.

Between 5:30am and 6am, Greg banked a pair of three-pounders weighing 3lb 2oz 8dr and 3lb 1oz. He then packed up and headed off to work, delighted with his result!
