Yet Another 30lb Plus Common

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Shop regular John Jones banked a 3o plus common on a new water recently. The fished weighed in at 35lb 2oz and was a fish caught a month earlier by Ian Smith at a similar weight. John tempted the fish back to the bank with a mixed bed of sticky baits boilies and a snowman hookbait. The set up John used was a Korda 4oz lead on a  Korda Safe Zone Safety Lead Clip  and Johns’ rig was tied with Kryston Super Mantis Green Hooklink and a size 6 Nash Fang X Hook. Well done again mate. Nice photo too.

Another Common

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

Have you noticed how many 30lb plus common carp are being reported to the Carp Catchers Blog? Anyhow customer Martin Deathridge fished an overnight session on Bluebell Lakes Swan lake recently and was rewarded with the 32lb 4oz common shown below. Using a new bait on test, Martin fished over light weed at 60 yards range. The rig Martin used consisted of a 12” Korda Supernatural Sinking Braid   hooklink tied to a size 6 ESP Stiff Rigger  hook. Martins hookbait was a snowman with a 10mm Hi-Viz Mainline Pop-Ups  topper. Nice result for an overnighter Martin.

Brace For Martin

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Regular customer Martin has had a bit of a lean spell recently, but his persistence paid off and it all came good at the weekend. Fishing Swan lake on the Bluebell complex Martin used inline running rigs and a new bait on test to tempt the nice brace of mirror carp shown below. The brace weighed 31lb 8oz and 18lb respectively. Martins snowman rigs were constructed from the new Korda Hybrid Soft  and size 6 ESP Curve Shanx  hooks.
