elmoputney Posted May 29, 2019 Report Posted May 29, 2019 I've only ever hooked one cat, I knew it wasn't a carp as it just carried on going and going and going sticking to the bottom then it snapped my hook link behind an island need to beef up I would say, I've never felt anything that powerful before or since can't even remember what it's like hooking a carp these days 😂 Quote

jh92 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 I was in a bit of a rush mate me and the dog went for a walk along the canal so wanted a few floaters to put in. Ended up getting a bag of Sainsbury’s mixers for 3.50. Anyway, no carp about but seen a dead tench knocking the 6lb mark 😩 baited up some clean patches in the holes of the weed with boilies, might go back down later or tomorrow and fish them for an hour lol commonly 1 Quote

muftyboy Posted June 2, 2019 Report Posted June 2, 2019 Found a new lake to guest at this evening. Was looking at a likely spot when the fish decided to put on a show for me. Saw a total of 6 carp in about half an hour, one of them was a lovely dark mirror, probably a high 20. Just gotta work out a route to get my gear down there without being seen . And take some sheers to make a swim. welder and yonny 2 Quote
