French Beauty For Mike

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Customer Michael Madeley had a weeks session at Lake Molyneux in France recently and caught the 28lb 12oz mirror carp shown below. Mike was having a lot of trouble with aborted takes and tried lots of different tricks to cure the problem. Eventually he lengthend the hair and had the mirror almost immediately. He was fishing Korda Subline to a gravel spot at 80yrds. Mikes’ rig was tied with Kryston Super Mantis to a size 6 Korda Kaptor Hook. Well done Mike.

Korda Wide Gape Hooks Deliver For Rob

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Here’s the promised catch report and more photos’ from Rob O’Briens recent trip to Etang Rendevouz.

“Hi John ,
             Hope all is ok, had an excellent week at Etang Rendezvous catching 13 fish. Overall between 4 anglers we took 1100lb of fish in a week! I was in a swim at the shallow end of the lake and for the first 3 days it was warm with a southerly wind. I struggled to get a bite, where as the others in the deep water were getting plenty including a stunning 48lb common and 72 lb catfish. All changed after  a north easterly came in and the fish followed it. The change in wind direction also changed My fortunes and I had My first fish in the morning at 8lb then a 25lb later on in the afternoon(photo in previous blog Rendevouz For Rob). Through the week I had regularly caught fish ranging from 2 30′s , 6 20′s and the remainder all under 20. My best of the week was this beauty below which weighed 35lb.
 One of the fish I caught had a bit off history being one of the lakes original stock of mirror carp. It has a Dutch cut tail which was probaly done in the 80′s. As it is one of the lakes oldest residents and rarely comes out I felt priviliged to catch it. 
                                                                                                                               
The rig I used for all the fish was 6″ of  Korda Hybrid Stiff  hooklink in gravel stripped back 1″ from the hook with a size 4  Korda Wide Gape Hook, tied blowback style with a rig ring stopped by a hook bead and a soft hair. The bait on which I caught most of the fish was sticky baits bloodworm dumbells topped with fake corn. This was fished over a tightly baited spot of carp pellet (carpe intensive), maize and 18mm bloodworm boilies (sticky baits) and a handfull off your own Super Spod mix (hemp betaine and maggot).”       
 See you soon,
Rob
Well that was a great report on what was a fantastic session for Rob. Thanks for sharing it with us Rob
