Why Change a Winning Formula? – Another Three-Night Carp Fishing Session

This week’s session was pretty much going to follow the same approach as last week: strong winds from the southwest, plenty of rain, and, more importantly, I just needed to get back into the same swim — or at least one nearby — after my successful session.

As luck would have it, that swim was free, so I quickly set up home and just about managed to get my rods out before the rain arrived. My approach was exactly the same as last week — why change a winning formula?

Once again, I was using Hobo Armour end tackle, which has been performing brilliantly for me, giving me complete confidence in what I’m presenting. On the business end, I stuck with Nutrabaits EnerGize boilies, backed up with Jurassic Particles to give the carp something a little different to home in on.

The combination has certainly been working for me, and with the fish clearly feeding, I saw no reason to change things. Sometimes keeping things simple and having confidence in what you’re doing is half the battle.

I was only planning on spending two nigh

ts on the bank, but as is often the way with fishing, it turned into another three-nighter.

The tally was as follows:

10 carp

This included 2 mirrors, which are surprisingly common to see in the water, but considerably less so on the bank.

I had 5 x 20s, topped off with two lovely 29-pounders, one of which went 29lb 15oz. Digital scales certainly keep you honest!

Unfortunately, I also lost 4 fish, which is always frustrating, but that’s fishing.

Overall, another very productive session, and one I’m certainly not going to complain about.  Hobo Armour end tackle, EnerGize boilies, and Jurassic Particles all played their part, and once again, the lake has shown just how rewarding it can be when you get the approach right.

Until next time,
