After a good fight it was in the net at 21lb 08oz. Thats one ticked off the list on to the next, Glugged catalyst 15mm hook bait topped with a 10mm GO2 classic corn wafter.

“I Booked on Westmoor Farm carp fishery syndicate for 4 nights and within 2 hours of having the rods out I’d landed one of the lakes jewels in the form of this 37lb 2oz mirror known as Clementine. Very very hard conditions with temps as low as -3 with a strong North easterly wind and water temps dropping from 11° to 7° within the first 24hrs of arrival. I managed to land the only 3 fish out of the lake that week and all 3 fell to the same rig and bait combination. German rig with a Size 2 SF hook and a 12mm Spotted Fin Pineapple N’butric acid pop up which left the hook sat flat on the bottom and the pop up acting more like a wafter.

Scott Grogan reports: “Today I went to my private syndicate which had been fishing really well the past week. he weather changed quite a bit with rain and a cold wind coming through. 4 fish came out the whole lake and three of them fell to me. I fished for just the day and kept very mobile moving onto fish that were showing. First fish was this 24lb mirror and what a chunk it was. It put up a big fight and once in the net I found out it had never been caught before. Second fish I stalked and watched him go down for the bait and another big fight and another top mirror. The final fish was a long lean torpedo common weighing just under twenty. All fish were caught on a ronnie rig with a 15mm classic corn pop up, baited up with whole and crushed classic corn. Great days fishing.”

Robert West sent us this catch report.
“It was an early start 5:20 at my local club water. After seeing fish showing the day before I got to the peg where I had seen them. I used catalyst crumb and Catalyst 2mm pellets, in pva bags with a classic corn 12x1mm wafter as hook bait. I was not expecting much as nothing had been out for a wile but managed 7 takes between myself and my nephew.
Great combination Robert and well done to you both !
