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.

Heres a nice 33lb common carp caught by customer Gavin Mcmillan while on a trip to Bluebells notoriously difficult Kingfisher lake. The fish was landed using the ever popular Chod rig.
Well done Gavin.
Customer Andy had a really nice personal best carp recently. Andy’s catch report reads as follows ” A recent 24 hour session at my syndicate produced this 26lb 7oz common another at 20lb 2oz and two upper doubles, all fish fell to blowback rigs using size 6 Solar Long Shank Hook , Atomic Jel e Wire hooklink , Korda Leadclips and Korda Safezone Leaders. Hookbaits were a snowman presentation using a 18mm Mainline Cell bottom bait and a 14mm solar fluoro pineapple pop up.” Well done Andy really nice common.

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.

A recent trip to one of my syndicates saw me bank another 30lb common known as the ‘Elusive Common’ at 33lb 2oz. The fish fell to a corkball pop up fished on a Chod Rig consisting of an ESP Stiff Rigger Hook, Gardner Tripwire and 9 ft of ESP Original Camo Leadcore.
The fish was backed up with a small stocky and a lovely dark 25lb mirror.

Heres a nice common carp weighing in at 26lb 8oz. The fish fell to a snowman hookbait with a Solar Juicy Pineapple Fluoro pop-up topping the combination. I have had a lot of success this year using snowmans with bright fluoro pop-ups. The rig was my usual Blowback Rig consisting of Atomic Jel-E-Wyre hooklink material and a Korda Wide Gape Hook in conjunction with a 3oz pear lead, ESP Bulk Spool Leadcore in Original Camo and an Armaled Lead Clip.
