Michael Siweki had a fantastic result at Dream Lakes recently. He had 40 carp including the massive 53lb 2oz common carp shown. Michaels rig was tied with Korda Supernatural in weed green to a size 8 Nash Fang Twister Hook with three 18mm Mainline Cell boiles as a hookbait. In his report Michael said ” It was b####y heavy”. Well done fella.

Lots of catch reports lately, we’ll get back to rigs and such as soon as I catch up. Still catch reports are good as they show that carp can be caught and gives you the methods they’re caught on. Below is my nephew Julius with a 14lb common carp caught on his first cast on his first carp fishing trip. How happy does he look ? Julius used Dynamite Baits Red Fish Shelf Life Boilies and a PVA bag of pellets on the hook to bag his first carp. The winning rig was a Rigmarole CamH2O Fluorocarbon Readymade Rigs . Julius used the new Nash rod and Shimano Baitrunner ST 6000 RA that he got from Carp Catchers.Well done Jules!!

Customer Martin Deathridge scored on his first night at his new syndicate. Martins mirror weighed 24lb 4oz and the successfull bait was Sticky Baits Bloodworm Boilies with the same company’s Bloodworm Dumbells as a hookbait. A Combi-Rig tied blowback style with Korda IQ and Korda Supernatural to a size 8 ESP Curve Shanx Hook helped to trip up the wary mirror.

After a very long lean spell customer Sean Bowen has landed a nice common from the difficult Pit 6. It’s not the biggest carp in the world, but they all count and when your struggling size doesn’t matter. Sean broke his blank spell using Baitcraft T1 Freezer Boilies his rig featured a Korda Soft Coated Braid hooklink tied to a size 8 Korda Kurv Shank Hooks . Well done Sean on, keeping on.

After ten months on his new syndicate customer Rob O’Brien finally caught a carp and what a carp a new personal best!! Rob’s common was caught at first light and weighed 27lb 4oz. The successful rig was tied KD style with Atomic Jel-E-Wyre to a size 8 Korda Kurv Shank hook with 2.5oz square lead on a Korda Safe Zone Safety Lead Clip. It was cast to a clear spot in sunken dead weed at 80 yards range with a scattering of 30 boilies around it. Rob is family man with very little fishing time, so well done Rob on your new PB.

At last! a catch report. Sean and Lea went carp fishing over the Christmas holidays on the Bluebell Lakes complex and were the only two there. Sean unfortunately didn’t have a sniff, but Lea had two jack pike and the very welcome mirror carp shown below. Lea’s mirror weighed 20lb on the nose and was caught on glugged Dynamite Baits Red Fish Pop Ups . Well done to both Sean and Lea on managing to actually getting out in the arctic conditions. Special congratulations to Lea though for getting the one we all want, a carp in the snow!!

In this Carp Catchers Blog we have one for the future. Customer Rob O’Brien sent in this photo of this gorgeous scaly mirror carp not a monster but who cares. Also notice how Rob has chosen a suitable background for his catch photo which really enhances the whole thing. Rig details are sketchy but a Korda Choddy hook and a Korda IQ Hooklink were involved.
