During a recent winter session, when the lake was empty and all the other anglers were at home I landed 7 fish to 25lb 2oz. All the fish were landed using snowman hookbaits presented on helicopter rigs incorportating Atomic Jel-E-Wyre Hooklinks and Korda Wide Gape Hooks. The snowman hookbaits were topped with Mainline Hi-Visual Tutti Frutti 10mm Pop-ups.
Get out there and get catching.

Customer Lea had this pretty ghost carp recently from an Oxfordshire syndicate. Lea’s carp weighed 25lb 4oz and was caught on Mainline Cell Boilies. The successful rig was tied with Atomic Jel-E-Wyre to a size 8 Gardner Mugga Hook. Nice fish Lea, well done.

Regular customer Sean Bowen sent in this catch report.
Hi all,
hope you all well, just got back from a 3 night session on Welham Lake, my first session in the UK since last September. Pre-baited a spot a few days prior and was lucky enough to get back on it, which resulted in 17 carp being banked with a mixture of commons and mirrors, two of which where 20′s.
All fish where taken on T1′s and rigs used where claw style made up of ESP Big T’s size 7, tied to 15lb Jelly Wire and Korda Supernatural Braid.
Back over to France next week to fish the river Gav with my mate so will see you soon.
Sean.
Nice fish, well done Sean.

After a recent 24 hour session on a local syndicate I landed this stunning 25lb 8oz Ghostie along with 4 other fish. The fish fell to my standard blowback set up consisting of the new Korda Kaptor Wide Gape Hooks, Korda Weed Green Shrink Tube and Atomic Jel-E-Wyre hooklink with an Armaled Locjaw Safety Leadclip, 3oz Korda Pear Swivel Lead and 3 ft of ESP Leadcore. The hookbait was a 20mm snowman presentation topped with a 14mm Solar Fluoro Pineapple pop-up. The fish were all landed with the aid of the new Korda Subline.

Heres a nice common carp weighing in at 26lb 8oz. The fish fell to a snowman hookbait with a Solar Juicy Pineapple Fluoro pop-up topping the combination. I have had a lot of success this year using snowmans with bright fluoro pop-ups. The rig was my usual Blowback Rig consisting of Atomic Jel-E-Wyre hooklink material and a Korda Wide Gape Hook in conjunction with a 3oz pear lead, ESP Bulk Spool Leadcore in Original Camo and an Armaled Lead Clip.

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 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.
