On a recent session to Richworth Linear Fisheries I caught a 32lb 4oz Mirror and a 21lb Common. Both fish were landed using critically balanced Dynamite Baits Tiger Nuts and Avid Carp Sight Stops over a spodded area of hemp, corn, chops, maggots, pellets and crushed tigers. The nuts were presented in Extra Small Korda Solidz PVA Bags with small micro pellets and groundbait and cast to a small clear area in the weed at about 70 yards.

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.

A recent quick overnighter saw me bank a new PB in the shape of a fish known as the ‘Long Common’ at 34lb 2oz. The fish fell to a corkball pop up fished on a chod rig consisting of an ESP Stiff Rigger Hook, Gardner Tripwire and 6 ft of ESP Original Camo Leadcore.

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!!

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!!
