Two 15 gram egg sinkers, 1 gram splitshot, 30 cm of fluorocarbon leader connected to the mainline with a surgeons knot and a 2/0 octopus hook

I hold it so weird haha

Small fella but a catch is a catch! 🎣

Only about 50 carp in the lake but they are all lovely dark ones, found the fish and chucked a solid bag out and 1hr 30 mins later I was in

Caught this very gold carp. Can someone tell why he is gold?

So went down the same lake again as there are plenty more good fish to go at . Some creeping over 25kg at the right time of year . This session wasn’t as productive . I put my self in a quite bay which had been producing a good number of fish the previous weeks, but as the temps have started to creep I think the fish were starting to school up and get ready for their own little diddy party . They didn’t start whilst I was there , but I one in the coming days it would happen . Still manage a few fish but as the carp slowed up in their feeding it gave other species a chance to get in on the action , so caras and catfish were on the cards . Not ideal in the night. Anyway the lake was beautiful as ever and having the lake to myself for 24 hours was a treat . Even if not all of the unwanted guests were in my net .

Sacrée après midi de pêche 👌💪

No complicated theories here. We baited the spot with groundbait, launching the balls out with a catapult.
If we already know that the fish likes our groundbait and is actively finding it on the bottom, why invent something completely different to attract it to the hook?
I simply took that exact same groundbait, packed it inside the shell, and put it out there. The fish came for the feed and found the exact same taste right on the hair.
The result is in the photos. Trust what's working, keep it simple, and let the shell deliver your bait perfectly.

Going after tench with a light rod, float and some sweet corn. But no complaints here.

Do not have a weighing scale but it was by far the largest fish I caught so far!

Weighing scale and sling is next on the agenda next pay day definitely.

Other fish was another carp that also fought like hell

It was £26.99 and contained at least £100 worth of stuff so I figured it was worth it for a bit of fun. The korda rod sleeve is perfect as my old one for my spod rod had loads of holes in and the zip was knackered. The hat is OK and the braid is always handy. The other bits will probably be useful at some point.

Id? Missouri

I haven't gotten anything on my Hair and Pack yet while my other rods are picking stuff up
