In this article I have decided to write about some of my best sessions during the Spring and let you know how I went about them. At the start of April I had four nights ahead of me, so I decided to setup in one of my favourite swims known [...]

Carp Fishing ~ A Dream Come True ~ Ash Bailey

Carp Fishing ~ A Dream Come True ~ Ash Bailey

Continuing on from my last trip to the hard pit, I managed to get down there a couple of days later, just to keep the baited spots topped up, as I was planning on doing an overnighter on the Wednesday. Looking at the clock constantly on Wednesday, the time to [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Long Lake Lumps ~ Sam Meeuwissen

Carp Fishing ~ Long Lake Lumps ~ Sam Meeuwissen

I had always maintained an interest in the CWA Fisheries Long Lake project. Not only because it was only a few minutes’ drive from my front door, or even because I fancied fishing exclusively for carp for a while, but it appears to have that something special about it that [...]

Carp Fishing ~ The Hard Grind ~ Ash Bailey

Carp Fishing ~ The Hard Grind ~ Ash Bailey

For the last 3 years I've chosen to target a really tricky low stock pit for a few months every summer, timed to coincide with the fish spawning on my syndicate lake. In that time I've toted up 28 nights with only one tench to show for all my hard [...]

Carp Fishing ~ New Beginnings on the Big Pit ~ by Tom Oliver

After enjoying a fantastic season on the Hollybush Lane Lakes Syndicate last year I would have loved to have spent another season there this year especially after my time there was cut short due to illness. However, with my wedding in Portugal on the horizon in September I knew I [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Water Park Hauling ~ Ash Bailey

Every year I get to enjoy a nice relaxed week of angling in France, but this year would be different as my girlfriend was pregnant and the baby’s due date fell on the date of the planned trip to France. I had no choice but to give my spot up. [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Napoleonic Adventure ~ Mike Lyddon

I recently had a trip to France with some of the guys from work and some mutual friends, for a friends 50th birthday. The venue in question was Napoleon Lakes, just south of Reims. At 9 acres in size, it’s an intimate venue and ideal for the group of six [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Flitting About (Part 2) ~ Rick Golder

Continued from part 1... I was back the following week, this time for a single night. I went up the other end setting up in a small swim again by a big bank of snags. This swim only needed two underarm flicks with little 1.5oz Bolt Bombs, and again I [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Flitting About (Part 1) ~ Rick Golder

I did very little fishing last winter due to a combination of work and family commitments, but I did have a social trip arranged with some friends at the end of February, which after a long layoff was something to look forward to. It actually made me sort my gear [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Red Letter Session ~ Ian Lewis

Earlier this year some good friends came over for a Chinese takeaway and a few beers. During the meal my mate asked if Stanley and I would like to accompany them to a special private lake during late spring, for a spot of coarse fishing and have a go for [...]

Carp Fishing ~ My Spring on Hollybush ~ Brandon Butler

Carp Fishing ~ My Spring on Hollybush ~ Brandon Butler

My first ‘proper’ session of the year on Hollybush wasn’t till the back end of April, as I had been working a lot and just doing the odd day session as and when I could. It got to a point where I really wanted a longer session so I decided [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Back on Cloud 9 ~ Tommy De Cleen

My last catch report detailed a few months of very tough fishing on the hard waters over here in Belgium, along with a UK trip which turned out to be hard going as well! It must seem like I love hard angling ‘therapy’ as my next trip, which I had [...]

Carp Fishing ~ More Highs Than Lows (Part 2) ~ Rick Golder

Continued from part 1... The next trip came around, and the weather was still cold and dull, but my tucked away swim was protected from the wind, and once again it looked good, as I flicked the baits out with little 1.5oz leads, and I was fishing within a few [...]

Carp Fishing ~ More Highs Than Lows (Part 1) ~ Rick Golder

Once the winter came, I had a few sessions on a local lake with a friend, Adam. It was great to have some social trips, as the rest of the year I never do it; my fishing is always totally on my own. We had some success too with my [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Another UK Adventure ~ Tommy de Cleen

As it is halfway through May and the summer is lurking just around the corner, I thought I'd sum up what has been going on in my own angling. Being a Gardner Tackle consultant means that I have been doing a few shows and open days in the shops around [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Beauty Outweighs Size ~ Ian Lewis

Once again I worked like a man on a mission to get the early finish, only this time to do the Thursday night through to Friday morning. Upon arriving I did the ritual lap, had a brief catch up with a few mates then had a look around. Two sizeable [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Friday Night Fever ~ Ian Lewis

I got into work nice and early and worked right through specifically to secure an early escape Friday afternoon. No effort is too much to make the most of my one night a week session. Getting there early gave me time to look, and after some serious searching I found [...]

Carp Fishing ~ Shoestring Success ~ TJ Elliot

After being let down with work numerous times, I decided to use the time I had off to my advantage. Unfortunately it meant having a very tight budget on what I was to spend my money on. I decided I'd go with the logical approach of only fishing if I [...]
