Regular Carp Catchers Blog contributer Sean has had a new PB here’s his report. Hi John, just got back from a 24hr session on pit 6 and had my first mirror from there, and new U.K. PB to boot. Fish was 25lbs on the nose and fell to 2 pieces of Enterprise Pop-Up Sweetcorn tied Blow Back style to a size 10 Gardner Longshank Incizor and 15lb jelly wire. Well done Sean, keep them coming.

Here’s a dumpy carp that I caught recently. It weighed 30lb 8oz and fell to my usual old skool D Rig tied with GLT No Can See Fluorocarbon to a size 6 Gardner Longshank Incizor . I fished a clear spot in weed at about 60yrds and scattered a kilo of Mainline Activ-8 boilies over the spot.

Sad to here that the British Record carp Two Tone has died. Two Tone resided in Mid Kent Fisheries Conningbrook Lake and will be missed by those that fished there and those that didn’t.

Here’s a pretty linear mirror that my mate Gary and I had at the BCAC qualifier at Farlows Lake. The pretty one weighed 18lb and ounces.

After a period of time away from one of my syndicates a recent trip back saw me land 8 fish to 24lb including this scaly scraper 20lb mirror that I’ve now caught 3 times, but who cares when they look like this! All fish came to Atomic Jel-E-Wyre hooklinks with size 6 Korda Wide Gape Hook tied blowback style. The lead set-up consisted of Armaled Loc-jaw leadclips, ESP Original Camo Leadcore and Korda 3oz pear leads.

Customer Dodge Green had a nice result from Gigantica recently. As most of you know Gigantica is quite a hard water and the week that Dodge was there only 4 carp were landed with 5 lost. The nice 39lb 8oz mirror below fell to Dodges rods after only 6 hours fishing, with another lost on the last night. The winning tackle included 12lb Pro Clear tied to a 4ft 24lb Grand Max leader and a 3oz Atomic Inline Lead. The rig was tied blowback style with Korda Supernatural in gravel brown tied to size 6 Nash Fang Twister hook with two Korda Sinkers on the hooklink. Bait was from Deception Baits. Well done Dodge!!

Customer Adam Holmes has had the big one out of his local lake. Here’s what Adam had to say :-
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.

To follow on from the recent blogs on prebaiting here are a few pictures to prove that prebaiting brings rewards. These fish were all caught from the same area of the lake after a long period of continuous prebaiting during late winter early spring.
Its really is worth putting in that extra effort.

Customer Rob O’Brien continues his roll with this gorgeous fully scaled mirror. Weighing 22lb 4oz (weight doesn’t really matter when they’re as stunning as this) Robs mirror was caught from a spot he’s been pre-baiting. The rig Rob used was unchanged, tied KD style with 25lb Atomic Jel-E-Wyre to a size 8 Korda Wide Gape Hook. Because of the weed Rob dropped the lead on the take using a Korda Hybrid Lead Clip Leader. Keep this roll going Rob, I want to see more of these stunning carp.
