With the day at our disposal, Ed and I decided to brave the cold and make our way down to one of our club waters. We set up in a quiet corner, away from the rest of the angling pressure. My rods were motionless pretty much all day, Ed was being pestered by the bream, the temperature was dropping rapidly. It seemed to be going from bad to worse! Just when we were thinking of packing up, my left hand rod absolutely melted off! I was fishing really simple, a D rig made up of a DSD size 4 wide gape BP, D-rig kicker with a trimmed down DT bait cold water green beast wafter and a small mesh bag of pellet soaked in Carp Particles Uk garlic oil. I was over the moon to be rewarded with this stunning 22lb mirror! ... Read less

Arriving Friday lunch time, to only one other angler fishing, I had time to sit, and have a chat with a mate who was carrying out some work down the lake, and watching the water, and discuss what had been occurring whilst Id been away.
After a spell, and nothing to go on other than one show, I wandered off back to the car, to fetch my kit, settling on a swim Id had a result from end of the summer, giving me a good view down the lake, with the wind trickling in.
Knowing my spots, I soon had the rods out to a spot, and half a bucket of bait spread out, a mix of whole, chopped and crumbed boilies, N blend, cold water and peach and sour cream.
As darkness fell, the fish started to show on mass. To the point, I moved a rod away from the main spot to where I was seeing a lot of activity.
I neednt have worried. 3am a short flurry of bleeps, and 17lb stocky was laying in the folds on the net, the size 4 talon buried in its bottom lip.
Trap reset, I was soon back out the back, this time to something a lot more powerful. This fish held deep, and a long kiting run, making for the snags of the bay to my left. Clamping down I was forced to apply some heavy pressure. I could see in the dark, the big boils hitting the inky black water, and just off the trees, slowly the fish coming further back towards me.
Eventually after a dogged battle under the tip, I slipped the net under my prize. Slipping the hook out of its big over slung mouth, my size 4 looking lost, with my little cold water dumbbell hanging out, I was also aware of the damage to the mainline, but the GTHD held strong.
Weighing at 32.8, a fish know as Elliott, I slipped him into the retainer, for pics at first light, text my mate, and sat back with a well earned brew! ... Read less

Arriving for a week on Gigantica and coming out 7th in draw, I opted for Oblivion as had noticed the fish showing on the walk around.
First night, with rods on spots from the bailiffs advice, I had an aborted take fishing at 28 wraps, but noted I was seeing fish on first light in much shorted range. Following a second quiet night, and a lot of liners, and again seeing fish shorter I dropped one rod shorter, at 16 wraps where I had twice seen fizzing, and moved the other two rods to slightly smaller areas at 26 wraps.
10 spombs of whole 15 & 22mm N blend, soaked in the DNA liquids, with a cold water pink hook bait over the top fished with amnesia D rig style to a size 4 BCR Rigga on the short spot, and knotless knot on the longer rods with Gardner size 4 Talons, and trap were set.
The next morning after the liners stared after midnight, the middle rod at 16 wraps was away and eventually this beautiful fish, known as the resident slipped over the cord at 45lb! What a carp! I was blown away by the sheer length of it!
The following night after pressing the reset button proved quiet, and I saw far less in short, but the other two rods did produce a pair of twenty pounders the following night, on what proved to be a very tricky weeks fishing. ... Read less

Shortly after my second carp I had a drop back which I struck into and felt 2 or 3 knocks before the came off.
This meant that both rods were now out of the water , with the sun slowly disappearing over the tree line I decided to have one last chuck.
This time I didnt even have time to switch my alarm back on when the line went completely slack, my first thought was that my lead had rolled off the marginal shelf
but when I picked the rod back up to tightened my line there was a fish on.
This was my third carp banked this session and the biggest of the day a carp known as single scale normally around 28lb this time it was only 25.10 but I couldnt complain when they look this good. ... Read less
After starting a pre baiting campaign I originally planned to get down 3 weeks earlier but due to an injury this got put on hold, as soon as i was better and able to walk properly again this was all that was on my mind.
I continued to lightly bait every 3-4 days until I eventually got down to fish.
After arriving at the lake for first light it was a bit of a hike to get down to a safe place to fish. I managed to get some Cold Water Green Beast crumb and chops plus Carp Particles Dark Mix out fairly quickly , I then fished a CWGB pop up over the top.
A few hours had past when my right hand rod ripped off resulting in this scaly old character.
This was the first of 6 bites which resulted in 3 carp being landed. ... Read less
After landing my first one of the session I brought my other rod back in to check my rig was sitting correctly as i hadnt had any sign on fish being in that area.
I decided to push a little closer to the cliff edge as when I had been pre baiting and watched the carp coming in really close patrolling the cliff edge margin.
Over the next few hours i managed another 2 bites but unfortunately loosing them both.
I changed tactics slightly and fished completely locked up so the carp couldnt run to the snags as previously.
Not to long after i lost my second fish my rod ripped off again and this lovely dark mirror was in the net. ... Read less

This one has been a long time coming. The lake which this carp resides in, has beat me up good and proper every time Ive dropped a rig in. Countless blanks and three lost fish.
Today, with only the day at my disposal, I thought I’d give it one, final go. I opted to fish two rods in the margins as I know the carp do patrol them throughout the day, fishing a DT baits cold water green beast wafter, on a D rig made up of a DSD tackle wide gape bp, d-rig kicker and the new test flouro hook-link. Over the top, I baited lightly with a mixture of DT bait CWGB freebies and pellet soaked in garlic oil from Carp Particles Uk. Around an hour after getting the rig into position, my left hand rod burst into life, my heart was in my mouth! I have never been so relieved to see a carp roll over the net cord. All be it probably one of the smaller residents, this carp meant so much more than just another fish on the mat! ... Read less
Road trip to France part 1
For the first part of our trip, it was time to return to the massive French reservoir that I have been longing to fish since I blanked 10 days there a couple of seasons ago. I would have been there last autumn, chasing my first carp from this lake, but the COVID situation put an end to that.
So after a 14 hour drive, Thomas and I were finally at the banks of the great lake with my good French friend Julien scouting the night-sections trying to find a vacant area to drop into. Luckily one of the more desirable areas had been vacated the same morning and after using most of the day boating our gear to the swim the sun was setting and we decided to get a good nights rest and get the rods out the day after.
The whole next day was used for finding spots and boating the rigs out to areas that looked like they could hold carp or could as carp routes from one area to another. Our chosen bait was 22mm shelf life N-blend boilies combined with tigers and a combo I have done very well on big lakes both back home and abroad - hook baits were double 22mm matching hard hookers.
Unfortunately nothing happened the first night and I decided to use the rest of the day to map our area and find a few new spots and I found a spot with harder bottom and the odd tree stump that looked absolutely carpy as can be, so I moved a rod on to that within safe distance to the old debris that were scattered underwater. I decided to go lighter on the bait with a kilo of boilies and 5 handful of tigers spread over a big area now it was just fingers and legs crossed hoping for the best.
Just before fist light I was torn out of my bed chair by a one toner from the rod I had moved the day before and after manic wrestle with my waders and wading through 30 yards of deep mud I stood with the rod in my hands connected to what could be my first carp from this iconic water. I quickly jumped in the boat and set the electric outboard to full power to get to the fish through the foggy mist that covered the lake which was making it impossible to see more than 10 feet in front of me. To my luck the carp stayed on the hook and after a short battle, I was rewarded with what I assessed to be a mid 20lb common, it might not have been the biggest or even the prettiest carp I have ever caught, but it was exactly what I wanted and now we had found a part of the puzzle. After looking for similar spots for Thomas and Julien we managed to land 10 carp in the last 6 nights to mid 40's,which made it a great trip with loads of great moments in an amazing setting!

After the success on my last trip plus the fact school holidays were coming to an end I knew it was the best time to take my niece and nephew for a couple of nights on the bank.
We were lucky to get back in the same peg so the rods were quickly back out onto the spots followed by a big bed of Supa Fruit soaked in matching DNA and lake water.
The first 24 passed unsuccessfully without any signs but my confidence in the tactics were high. We left the rods out, sat back and enjoyed the wildlife and bbq.
The night was uneventful and now time was against us we decided to get on cooking breakfast. All of a sudden on the right hand rod we had a single bleep and looking up could see the rod tip bending to the left. Quickly turning the stove off I got Bobbie to come and help with the rod and as we lifted into it I could tell it was a decent fish. The fish held the bottom then all of a sudden it bolted towards us going for the snags, we managed to turn it but ended up going under my other 2 rods.
A beautiful mirror hit the surface and slowly coming towards us I quickly slipped the net under our prize. Looking into the net I could see it was the one fish Bobbie had been talking about since we turned up Bobby Ball. ... Read less

Road trip to France part 2
After packing up at the big lake it was time to make the short drive to Gigantica for our annual social weeks fishing at this great venue. I came our third in the draw, so for once in many years I would not go in the Alcatraz swim which I had been in many years in a row and even though I have caught fish from that area every time, I just felt I need a change of scenery. So, when it was my turn to choose, there was no hesitation when the Stink swim was vacant that this would be my choice for the week even though there were no fish caught from the area the week before, the bailiffs had informed me that the angler fishing there the previous week had not been using huge amounts of bait or been out at long range this would give me the possibility to fish further out and start a new baited area, something that has worked well before.
Getting set up I wanted to get my rigs out first and then spod out the 5-6 kilo of 22mm N-blend boilies over the area to get hopefully get some carp on the munch. But first thing was to get the marker float out and find a nice spot where I could present my rigs nicely. I had already been to by James who is the bailiff that a cast at around 28 wraps towards a big tree on the other side, the bottom would be nice and clear, so I decided to wrap my marker rod up at 34 wraps and feel the lead back from there. Casting out and hitting the clip, the lead came crashing down on something so hard it had to be gravel and the pulling lead back towards me revealed a big are with nice clean and firm bottom. A few casts later to prod around, confirmed that this would be the perfect spot for a big bed of boilies to be presented and I decided to fish a few wraps shorter as I felt it would make baiting up easier in the long run, in case the wind picked up or changed direction, I would have no problem recasting even in the middle of the night. After getting the three rigs positioned perfectly on the spot, I used a few hours spodding out 6 kilos of 22mm N-Blend at different wraps to get a nice big spread of bait that could hold plenty of carp if they decide to move onto the spot. As I was adjusting my bobbins in the last light, I could hear that Anders in the swim next to me was into his first fish of the trip after only having the rigs in the water for a few hours, this seemed to be a good omen for the rest of the week the carp were feeding.
I was awoken by a one toner just past midnight, and I could net my first fish of the trip, a lovely dark mirror just under 40lb. A great start and my gamble starting on a new spot had paid of yet again. While I was getting the rig ready for recasting the middle rod was off which resulted in a nice mid thirty mirror so now I had another rod that needed to be redone and cast out again. I use a few extra casts to get the positioning of the rigs as perfect as I could in the dark and decided to spod out a few more kilos of boilies over the spot in hope to keep the carp feeding and it worked, the last rod melted off and after a short battle a small 20lb common was in the net. After 3 bits in quick succession, I was running low on slings, and I had to do a quick run too pick up a few extra slings and another net. I recast the last rod and put out another 5 spods of bait before returning to the warmth of my sleeping bad. I had only just closed my eyes when I had another blistering take and I grabbed the rod to land an angry 40lb common. I decided to leave the fish in the net and get the rod out quickly and while I was wrapping up the next bite alarm screamed, and I could hear the spool clicking away slowly. I could feel straight away that this fish was acting a bit different, with fewer headshakes and waddling back and forth more, so I carefully played it between the other two lines not yet having seen the fish. The carp now decided to use its weight hugging the bottom in front of the swim and I applied some extra pressure to keep it away from any debris or rocks on the marginal slope that could cut the line, sudden a massive mirror surfaced just in front of the swim, and I could lift the net around the massive framed fish with a bit of trouble the first time. After having a better look at the carp now safely in the net I was sure it was over 70 lb the width, depth and height of this fish was unbelievable, and it went 72lb on the scales with the help of James the bailiff and the last take came just before first light making it a total of 6 bits in one night I had only had one hour of full sleep and I did feel a bit exhausted. So after we had all the photos sorted out I redid all the rods and spodded out another 6 kilos of boilies to top up the spot. Now I had not in my wildest dreams thought that this kind of action could continue, but besides one night where I only had one bite, I went on to land 22 carp in total over 7 nights, including 2 x 70's 3 x 50's and 3 x 40's. A crazy trip with very little sleep as all the bites came in the dark and recasting and spodding after every second fish kept the carp coming back for more..

A couple of 50+ Commons. Fish Blood & Fresh Orange glugged in DNA with matching hard hook baits helped Dave achieve two back to back PB's on a tough lake in France in the heat. This is what he reported:
After a long week of high pressure and hot sunny weather the fishing had not been going well with the first few fish being caught on the Wednesday morning, the trip was nearing the end and by Friday I had had nothing in the way of a take or pick up!
Late morning on the Friday the wind suddenly swung to a westerly which I had been waiting for all week and the fish started to move towards the corner of the lake where I was fishing, I noticed that on the opposite bank where there was a stalking swim that the fish were showing more there than over my baited areas, so I grabbed all three rods and went round to the swim and quietly placed three rods close in, after about an hour a large fish head and shouldered to my left and I quickly reeled in one of the rods and cast a single 18mm Fish Blood & Orange bait soaked in DNA to the area, 15minutes later the stone which I placed on the spool flew up in the air and the rod was away! After a short fight and using its weight the fish was in the net and once weighed was confirmed as a new pb of 51lb 2oz, I was over the moon!
Later I headed back to my swim in preparation for the last night of the trip and feeling pleased that I had not blanked I then placed all three rods back on the baited areas, and at 5am only hours before we had to leave had a screamer on the middle rod, which after a long and very hard fight resulted in another new pb of 52lb 3oz common.
A totally mad but very pleasing last 24 hours! and one I thought I would share with you guys, thanks for all your help and friendly advice that you guys always give.

Having been unable to fish as much this year it was only my third season on the main lake at Fryerning. With only one other fish out since 30th November last year I knew the odds were against me but as I was able to secure a spot in the lodge swim, and the weather was getting better I felt I had a chance. In the afternoon of Saturday a few fish showed at range and as this was the only thing to go on I cast two cold water green beast pops ups as far as I could manage towards the showing fish. Nothing happened over night but at 7am my middle rod roared off. After a steady fight I slipped the net under an old friend in the shape of a koi known as the Dalmation. At 36lbs it was a welcome start to my catches for 2018. ... Read less
