salokcinnodrog got a reaction from dayvid in August Catch Reports
I'm in this month, a lot of hard work for the result so far.
4 hours of raking and baiting with hemp, sweetcorn and boilies on Thursday, this morning I had one of this years stock fish at 15lb on sweetcorn. It went in in January at 11lb 4oz.
I knew there were fish in the area, the young coot that was diving on my baits kept on coming up looking panicked, running away then return to dive again, so the run was not a surprise.

Not a secret at all, Megaspice.
You may also find that Versele Laga Garlic Oil at around £17 for 250ml is a better buy.
I go to putting liquids in eggs, get a better mix through than adding it to the eggs and base mix.
Don't forget that I use the Garlic spice baits for hookbaits only, so the flavour level is that recommended for 4 eggs in a 1 egg mix.

I did put the whole recipe
I've dropped the additional liquids just relying on garlic and megaspice

Had a whale of a time down at Wraysbury on a social with @greekskiilast week. Between us we had 40 odd bites over 3 days. Conditions were PERFECT. Here's a couple of my faves:

I'm honestly blown away!
I lost a fish after the 26, where the fish ran over the middle rod, when I recast I didn't check the line and got smashed.
I recast it while Michael Hawes was down chatting and just after he left I had the dark 21lb mirror, on a different pop-up, a pink Nutty Bait.
I hadn't even sorted that out and had another take, this was 29lb, back on the Monster Crab.

Rod Hutchinson Monster Crab pop-up working again.
Proper wake-up call this morning, an absolute screamer from around 40metres out and a clear spot in the weed, so I can fish my preferred running leads, 27lb 8oz

I'm still fishing until Friday.
Went quiet today, but had this one at 24lb, 5 rod lengths out this evening, they do like the Monster Crab.

Thanks Mate.
As an aside, I was sent the stocking picture of the 21lb fish by the syndicate manager, and I am seriously shocked, it went in in January THIS year, have a look.

Loving life right now, another fish at 26lb 10oz, you've guessed, Rod Hutchinson Monster Crab pop-up in a PVA bag of Monster Crab pellets only over a bed of hemp.

Thanks, I am still smiling every time I look at the pics. For the syndicate records we have to photograph every fish with accurate weights so we know the growth rates.
I worked it out that with known originals and stock fish around 165 carp in 45acres. I say around as there are a couple we have seen that have not been caught yet and the occasional loss during spawning.
This fish was stocked in 2018 at 17lb, and is the first time it's been caught. There are others still uncaught from then and subsequent stockings.
