After a year with virtually no carp fishing I had a nice return to my syndicate. The 32lb 2oz mirror carp shown below was my reward. It was caught on 18mm Mainline Activ 8 Boilies. My rig was tied old school D rig style with 30lb GLT No Can See Fluorocarbon to a size 6 Gardner Longshank Incizor hook.

Customer Ashley went to France recently and had the fish of a lifetime. Below is a photo of a stonking great mirror carp that weighed 56lb 2oz. The huge mirror was caught on a 20mm boilie topped of with a piece of Enterprise Pop Up Sweet Corn. This was fished over a handfull of crushed boilies, pellets and sweecorn soaked in CSL liquid. Ashleys’ successfull rig was variation of a rig I showed him tied with 30lb GLT No Can See to a size 6 Gardner Longshank Incizor Hook tied blowback style with Solar Blowback Beads and Blowback Rings. Well done Ashley a brilliant result.

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.

Here’s a nice 35lb 2oz mirror carp I had recently. It led me a right dance as it got into a massive weed bed and even though the lead had dropped on the take I had to go out in the boat to free it. It was well hooked though and it was never going to come off. I used half a kilo of scattered 18mm Mainline Activ-8 boilies as bait and the hookbait was a snowman with a 10mm Mainline Hi Visual Milky Toffee pop up. The rig was tied D rig style with a size 6 Gardner Longshank Incizor hook and a 30lb GLT No Can See Fluorocarbon Hooklink .

Here’s a couple of nice mirror carp I had on a recent session. They weighed 19lb and 23lb 2oz respectively and were tempted from holes in the weed by Mainline Activ-8 boilies. I used a D Rig tied with 30lb GLT No Can See Fluorocarbon and a size 6 Gardner Longshank Incizor hook. I was able to land both fish from the bank in what is an extremely weedy swim by dropping the lead on the take using PVA’d Ace Lead Clips .

I recently christened my new Century NG Rods with this beauty of a lunker weighing 28lb 6oz. The fish came from a spot that I’ve been baiting regularly with good quality boilies throughout the year. My rig consisted of GLT No Can See fluorocarbon tied D rig style to a Gardner Longshank Incizor Hook, the hookbait was a snowman and was lodged well back in the fishes mouth. When I get a bit of time I will show those of you that don’t know how to tie the D rig.
