Went done to my guesting place yesterday armed with a tin of hemp and a couple of pints of maggots and my float rod. Ended up with 2 tench and 3 carp. 21lb and just shy of 25lb. Epic battle on the float rod for over 30 mins with both , got weeded up numerous times. Proper thrilled to land them. The other carp was a small double. Awesome fish mate, what is your float fishing setup? I want to give it a go lol crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finchey Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Just the one today equaling my pb 14lb 8oz. I know it's only small compared to a lot of the fish on here but the photo really doesn't do it justice. It was broad across it's back and quite chunky. 👍 Edited August 19, 2019 by finchey crusian, snowmanstevo, commonly and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used my newly tied multi rigs, they work a treat well made up with them. On one of them I didn't use a hook bead but on ever cast I used pva nuggets and no problems with the loop moving. I will be knocking some more of these up. 👍 crusian, elmoputney and snowmanstevo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smufter Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I don't believe this!! The last time I brought Liddy up here she caught two to my blank... She's now just landed a 30.5 Linear. And it's a named fish. I'm never going to live this down!!

I'd love it to be called that Geezer. But it won't. She's not a member..... although she is now thinking of joining. It would be good because she'd be the only lady member.
