Regular Carp Catchers Blog contributer Sean has had a new PB here’s his report. Hi John, just got back from a 24hr session on pit 6 and had my first mirror from there, and new U.K. PB to boot. Fish was 25lbs on the nose and fell to 2 pieces of Enterprise Pop-Up Sweetcorn tied Blow Back style to a size 10 Gardner Longshank Incizor and 15lb jelly wire. Well done Sean, keep them coming.
Best Fishes,
John

Regular customer Lea Baverstock has just upped his personal best with the cracking common carp shown below. Lea’s common picked up his Mainline Cell Dumbell Hookers hookbait tipped with Enterprise Pop-Up Sweetcorn at 6.30am and took 10 minutes to land. It was caught from A1 Pits and weighed 26lb 8oz. Well done Lea !!

Regular customer Jonathan had a lovely zip linear mirror carp recently (I’m dead jealous). Here’s his catch report.
“As you know I have been fishing on the Wellingborough lakes ticket since April and I am not superstitious but my ticket is number 13! I have really struggled this year so thought the ticket must be to blame.
Arriving at the Island lake on Friday night to find a westerly wind blowing there were a few carp showing at the bottom end of the lake. I chose a swim which would allow me to walk round and place two hook baits whilst casting the third rod to showing fish.
At 2am one of the rods placed on in the far margin spot received a drop-back which I lost (hook pull) after only having the fish on for a minute so I re-cast the rod to the spot.
At 5am the rod cast to an area where I had earlier seen carp boshing, was away. This one stayed on and kited to my right, picking up one of my other lines which made netting it difficult. I went In up to my knees with trousers rolled up and it was in the net. The fish, a cracking zip linear weighed 32lb 14oz and hopefully sees a change in fortunes.
Rig consisted of a size 10 Korda wide gape hook tied to about 9” of Korda Supernatural braid on a clay Korda Safe Zone Safety Lead Clip, 2oz atomic dung bomb and 18” of ESP brown lead core.
Bait was an 18mm Mainline boilies tipped with a grain of Pop-Up Sweetcorn with about 10 freebees scattered around the hook bait and a small PVA bag of chops courtesy of a Korda Krusha .”
Nice one!!

Customer Rob O’Brien used Korda Hybrid Stiff to hoodwink these French beauty’s weighing 32lb and 36lb respectively. Rob was fishing Etang Rendevouz in France and also caught carp of 25lb,22lb,18lb and 15lb in his week long session. Using a snowman blowback rig consisting of size 4 hooks tied to a Korda Hybrid Stiff hooklink Rob cast tight to the margins of an Island. Hookbaits were 3 pieces of maize topped of with a piece of Enterprise Pop-Up Sweetcorn these were put into a pva bag along with 20 freebies. Rob reports that he encountered every weather condition possible on his trip including hail and snow and winds from all directions. This week see’s Rob back at Etang Rendevouz, so hopefully we will have some more photos’ and catch reports from him soon. Good Luck Rob!!
