Carp Fishing – House of Commons Part 1 – James Chisnall
Much to our amazement it was 39lb 14oz! Wow, an early Christmas present. My friend did me some great shots and we returned the fish. I sat drinking a tea thinking “this is awesome”. The only issue was once I had written about this epic adventure it was going to be even more like Piccadilly Circus. The rest of the night past with zero action, but I did not care, a December 39lb’er, and a new lake record…
Carp Fishing – Christmas Crackers – Louise Bowes
I stood poised over the rod then as the line pulled out of the clip, I lifted the rod to find myself into another carp, but this one felt a bit bigger. It was slower, more plodding, and stripping line as it went on a solid run. As I looked around for the net, I realized my dilemma. I had the handle at my feet, but the mesh was by the mat...
Carp Fishing – Bobbing Around – David Gaskin
Early in the afternoon Dave repeated a demonstration of his tactical supremacy and landed one of the longest commons I have ever seen, weighing in at over 50lb! Luckily, I got in on the action with a 48lb mirror before the end of play! The following day we managed another 3 bites before the weather took a turn for the worse and the fishing slowed.
Carp Fishing – Solid Gold – Rick Golder
I could see small clear gravel patches very close to the snag tree, a matter of feet from the bank. In no time the excitement was back, not only was I fishing, I was also on the fish!
Carp Fishing – A Year Of Two Halves – Carl Udry

I have written a comprehensive account of my time on this special venue that will be published in the New Year...

Karpervissen – Mijn 2019 Karpervissen – Tommy De Cleen
In februari begon het enorm te kriebelen om te gaan. Tussen de open deur dagen door heb ik eind februari men eerste 2 nachten gevist en geblankt. Maar ik heb het één en ander geleerd i.v.m. de topografie van de bodem, paar leuke foto’s en een geweldig gevoel om ergens eindelijk na jaren echt te vissen was het top er te zijn.
Karpervissen – Le Petit Canal – Jurgen
Belgie is redelijk wat kanalen en rivieren rijk. Grote, ruwe kanalen die nog steeds het nostalgische van weleer uitstralen. Kanalen waar echte bakken huizen, en nog steeds druk bevist worden bovendien... Ik hou me meestal afzijdig van deze meute. De zoektocht openen naar kleinere, rustige kanaaltjes liggen me meer. Uw ding kunnen doen zonder echt rekening te moeten houden met anderen? HET KAN NOG! Vaak ook gelegen aan de Franstalige zijde van ons kleine landje.
