Tony Nick & Steve arrived from Plymouth and Bournmouth after drawing straws on the boat Tony had the pick of swims and went for swim 1 the rock, this was a good choice as within 3 hours of being here he landed a 37lb8oz mirror beating his PB by 6lb this was caught on boilie in 12ft of water only 3ft from his rodpod, Nick replied in swim 5 with a 32lb mirror breaking his PB by 2lb. After all the excitment at the start the lake went quite for a couple of days the carp now know there are anglers after them.After a little bit of advise Tony was in again in swim 1 at 2am with the first frost of the year and he was rewarded with a little mirror of 25lb after lossing a few he landed another mirror at 30lb. In the early hours Tony was out in the frost landing another mirror at 29lb Nick was also up playing a good fish but only to loss it at the net.Later that morning just to let the boys know the start of the fishing wasnt luck Tony landed another long original mirror at again 37lb8oz. Nick wasnt having any of that and was into a nice carp that came in at 31lb8oz from the far cliff face on pineapple boilie followed by another at 29lb8oz. At last Steve rod was of and he landed a cracking mirror at 34lb from crab boilie,Plenty of fish were missed/lost but it wasnt bad with the first frost etc. Well done guys.

Dan popped over for a long weekend with his girlfriend Charlotte. To be fair after just having the first frosts of the year the fishing was hard going, I know Dan said the fish were topping and jumping like mad but they were having none of it, well Dans bait anyway.The weekend quickly passed and still no joy, Dan was starting to pack up think he had blanked when his bobbing shot up and his alarm was screeming at him.He hit it and hooked into a big fish from the far side of swim 1 on chilly tuna boilie after a good fight the fish was in the net and on the unhooking mat it was a very large mirror that was all shoulders a bit like Frank Bruno and it weighed in at 44lb breaking Dans PB by 10lb. Well done Dan I hope it was worth the wait, it just show you dont give up till the fat lady sings because you never know she may be just about to take your bait. Its a great pic but dosnt show the real size of this one.

Well here we are looking forward to the 2010 season, 2009 was a busy time at Carpquarry, The lake itself was very little fished mainly because we were still finishing off works to it and the house, we had a few groups over mainly friends and overall they did quite well with the average fish at just over 32.5lb and the largest caught at 44lb. The fish are putting on weight at an incredible rate this is mainly due to the feeding programme, perfect water quality together with no real angling pressure this is why we are expecting our first 50lb plus fish to be landed in 2010 and the first person to do it I will buy them a bottle of bubbly. With this in mind there is still plenty of dates to have your holiday with us. Once our first guests come I will keep you up to date with latest catches,pictures,locations,baits etc. Hope you all have a great season.

Regards Gordon Carpquarry.

This week we only had two guys fishing Gary and Sean from London, Again it wasnt the easiest weeks fishing but saying that the guys caught fish from the smallest 25lb8oz to early 30s,again none of the larger carp over 35lb were caught they seem to be more interested in eating the millions of tadpoles that are present at the moment.Well done to Gary and Sean who both had fish over 30lb and I hope you had a good 50th Gary and we look forward to seeing you again at Carpquarry.

All fish and lost fish was on there own bait T1 boilies and all runs came from the far side.

We had James and girlfriend Kayliegh and James 2 for the week just the guys were fishing they had a hard week and only managed to land 2 fish in the upper 20s but lost/missed a staggering dozen fish. I am sure next time you will be sitting by your rods

[carpquarry]

This week starting 21st Aug 2010 we had Chris and his wife and grandson Kieran and his girlfriend Megan from Lincolnshire, It was only the two guys fishing what a week they had, it did not stop raining until the day they left which was a shame for the girls but I think they loved it sitting in a warm house watching many episodes of Gavin and Stacey,As for the guys they were soaked all week so it didnt make alot of difference to Chris when he fell in trying to get the baitboat out. As regards the fishing they had 8 fish from mid 20s to just over 30lb once again the bigger fish have kept a low profile someone very soon will have a few big hits

[carpquarry]

Well done to Emma with a new PB Mirror of 26lb8oz and top rod Luke with a new PB mirror of 32lb4oz and PB common of 24lb4oz.

We had with us this week friends Alan & Lesley who came over doing a spot of fishing and a bit of diving clearing out some snags.

Well done to Lesley with a new PB of 27lb8oz and to Alan with a new PB of 31lb8oz they also had another 30 and a late 20. But dont worry Alan I will not tell anyone about the other 19 yes 19 runs that you missed/lost your secret is safe with me

[carpquarry]

3/10/10-5/10/10

Paul and his mate Craig came for a short 48 hour session while they were over in France renovating Pauls holiday home. What a session they had 5 fish 30lb plus and also lost a couple, but you know Paul you are not ment to slip fall flat on your back in the rain and hit into the fish and try and play it as you are laying on your back in a puddle LOL.

Paul had a 30lb and missed one.

Craig had 30lb, 30lb, 33lb and 34lb PB and missed a couple.

Thats a good result for just 48 hours fishing.
