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 fished a low stock Nene Valley gravel pit a few months back and on my first session I managed a cracking 28lb 12oz Common within hours of finding a few fish and casting a few baits at them. The fish fell to CC Moore Odyssey XXX Freezer baits with a corkball hookbait presented on a Hinged Stiff rig incorporating ESP Stiff Rigger Hooks, Gardner Trip Wire and GLT Green Stiffy.

I did another overnighter recently at Elsons on the Stanwick Lakes Fisheries and had a result in the form of 5 fish. I turned up to find the lakes quieter than expected due to the bad weather and after a quick walk round I had found a few fish and decided to setup in the nearest swim. Three hinged stiff rigs with CC Moore Odyssey xxx corkball pop ups were soon cast out towards the showing fish followed by a light spread of Odyssey xxx freezer baits. I didn’t have to wait long for the first take which resulted in a 16lb 4oz Common, shortly after I landed a stunning 21lb 8oz Mirror which was the result of reeling in a rod and casting a single at the group of showing fish in the next swim. Through the night I had a further 2 takes including a 20lb 8oz Common and finished up with a 16lb 12oz Common and a 6lb Tench just before packing up.

The autumn period has to be one of my favourite times of year for fishing. The leaves are falling off the trees, a lot of anglers start to stay at home due to colder conditions and the fish get on the munch before the impending winter, as this recent capture of mine proves during a session on one of my syndicates. Its a fish known as the “Dumpy Mirror” and weighed in at 34lb exactly. 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.
Get out there and bag an autumn whacker!
