During a recent session I managed to land 6 fish including two 20s to 23lb 6oz. All the fish were landed with the aid of Korda Wide Gape Hooks, Atomic Jel-E-Wyre Hooklinks and CC Moore Odyssey XXX Freezer bait. The hookbaits were glugged in the Odyssey XXX bait dip and topped with CC Moore Hellraiser pop ups.
I hope your out there catching a few before the lakes freeze over.

During the heavy rain last weekend I managed to bank two mid twenty commons at the same time, weighing in at 25lb 13oz and 26lb respectively. The fish were caught using Atomic Jel-E-Wyre Hooklinks and Korda Wide Gape Hooks setup blow back style. The fish fell to CC Moore Odyssey XXX hookbaits glugged in the matching liquid and topped with CC Moore Hellraiser pop ups. The hookbaits were cast to the coloured water flowing into the lake due the hours of rain we recieved.

I had another result a few weeks ago on CC Moore Odyssey XXX freezer baits and snowman presentations with CC Moore Hellraiser pop ups. I used blowback rigs on helicopter setups incorporating Korda Wide Gape Hooks and Atomic Jel-E-Wyre Hooklinks. I banked 12 carp in 48 hours including this long, lean 24lb common.

I’ve just returned from 2 nights on Manor Farm at Richworth Linear Fisheries. I fished 3 solid bags on the same spot no more that 6 feet apart with 10mm CC Moore Odyssey XXX pop ups topped with Avid Carp Sight Stops and baited up with a bucket of hemp, 10mm CC Moore Odyssey XXX boilies, caster, maggot, pellet and a few other goodies using a Spomb. The fish started showing over the spot late afternoon and into the night. I had a chunky 31lb 15oz mirror just before midnight which was followed by a pristine 20lb 14oz common just before first light. The following evening I was plagued by ducks and struggled keeping all 3 rods tight on a spot before darkness fell. That night the conditions completely changed, the fish activity was a lot quieter and no more runs materialised but I was happy with the fish from the previous night.

Its that time of year again when boilies come into there own and tend to out catch most other baits. During the Autumn as the temperatures are dropping and the days are getting shorter the carp begin to have a feed up for the coming winter months and boilies are one bait they know are good for them. During a recent session on my syndicate I landed this 26lb Mirror carp on a 15mm bottom bait topped with a 10mm Mainline Tutti Frutti Hi-Visual Pop-up over a small bed of mixed size boilies. Use a good quality boilie like Mainline Fusion Or Nash Scopex Squid.
Get yourself some boilies and go catch ‘um!

After 2 years, regular customer Simon Hogan, finally bagged the one he was after from Bluebell Lake’s Sandmartin in the shape of this long 32lb 8oz Common. Just look at the tail on it, I bet that fought like a demon!
Good angling Simon.

I had another good session recently banking 4 fish, 3 of which were 20lb+ including this immaculate 28lb Common. The fish fell to my standard Blowback Rig set up consisting of a Korda Wide Gape Hook, Korda Weed Green Shrink Tube and Atomic Jel-E-Wyre hooklink with an Armaled Locjaw Safety Leadclip, 3oz Korda Pear Swivel Lead and 3 ft of ESP Leadcore. The hookbait was a 20mm snowman presentation topped with a 14mm Solar Fluoro Pineapple pop-up. The fish were all landed with the aid of the new Korda Subline.

Customer Trevor Higgs had a whacking great French carp on a recent session at Luke Moffets’ Le Graviers. The big mirror weighed 53lb exactly and was caught at 250yrds range over a 3-4 kilo bed of Premier boilies. Trevors hookbait was tipped with a piece of Enterprise Pop Up Sweetcorn to counter balance the hook. The successful rig was a Solar Weed Effect Rig tied to a size 4 Solar Longshank Hook on a Korda Lead Clip and 15lb Korda Subline as the mainline. Trevor also had mirrors of 44 & 43lb. Well done Trevor great session.

Customer Michael Madeley had a weeks session at Lake Molyneux in France recently and caught the 28lb 12oz mirror carp shown below. Mike was having a lot of trouble with aborted takes and tried lots of different tricks to cure the problem. Eventually he lengthend the hair and had the mirror almost immediately. He was fishing Korda Subline to a gravel spot at 80yrds. Mikes’ rig was tied with Kryston Super Mantis to a size 6 Korda Kaptor Hook. Well done Mike.
