Being known for fishing primarily short overnight sessions in between work an instant attraction to Brooklands was that anglers can drive and park behind most of the swims on the lake, and in addition to me it also attracts lots of other anglers thanks to good access and a great stock of carp...
Luckily enough, the carp hadn’t managed to get too far down in the bay near to the snags, so after continuously pumping the carp soon came into view, as it was lying on its side wallowing yards from the boat, gulping for air...
One thing I must say was it was a right buzz playing a fish in from 80 yards with the sky full of fireworks. In fact, I was actually in awe of the moment and that might actually be why it found the marginal weed and fell off after hitting my other line...
The excitement was building, and frankly I was going crazy waiting to get started. Doing the same thing, I elected to turn up before first light, see where the other anglers were and then find the fish. Low and behold the fish were doing their usual, showing long out in the middle...
Diese Frage wird wohl fast bei jeder Session mit Freunden und Bekannten aufgeworfen und diskutiert. Und wer kennt die richtige Antwort? Niemand, denn jede Situation kann andere Auswirkungen haben. Sogar am selben Gewässer, an der gleichen Angelstelle und identischer Futtertaktik, kann es sein, dass ich meine Taktik in der nächsten Session [...]
The carp looked massive and had not been out for a few months, and the weight was a massive shock to us, and I was absolutely over the moon. It felt great to catch one of my target fish from the venue...
J'ai commencé la pêche à la carpe il y à maintenant plus de 10 ans. Passionné j'ai commencé à faire mes armes dans des petits publics de mon secteurs avec les copains, ensuite je me suis tourné vers les rivières qui mon fortement intéressés. Les trésors qui y nagent et le sentiments [...]
Finally, I was attached to my quarry. Leon came over and helped me shuffle into my waders and help pass my rod under the other as the carp powered out of the bay. I soon lent into the carp, with the tip held low I slowly put the brakes on it...
I started fishing with my grandfather as a child about 6 years old, fixed rod and worms. My real passion for carp fishing exploded 10 years ago. I go fishing every spare moment I have. Alone or in company it doesn't matter, the important thing is to fish! Fact File Name: Valentina [...]
I have been fishing for 50 years and targeting specimen fish since the 1980s. I prefer fishing venues that have an element of mystery so that you can never be certain what the next bite will bring. As an all-round angler I find that new challenges are easy to find, be it [...]
St. Ive’s itself is a venue steeped in carp angling history, and is home to some stunning original big carp that have grown up to the 50lb+ bracket, a stock that also includes a few very elusive up and coming fish which have barely seen the bank. In fact, ever since I saw Dave Lane holding the awesome ‘Fat Lady’ I always dreamt about fishing St Ives Lagoon...
Summertime is the best time for fish spotting, as the river will be running clear most the time. Big chub often giving themselves away, so it is not usually too hard to find them. Early in the morning, during the evening or in the afternoon sun are all great times for fish spotting...
Losing fish on Chods? Not confident they will stay on the end? Don’t use Chods even though the situation demands it? Then cut your losses with Matt’s Chod extension. Everything you need. Step 1. First off cut a 14 inch length of leadcore and splice [...]
When I first started using this method my catch rate went through the roof as this also allows me to drop into a swim in the dark and with one cast land directly on the hot spot with very little disturbance. Twice now, I have dropped into a swim, and within 20 minutes I have hooked into 15lb+ Barbel...
Ho iniziato a pescare da piccolino nei canaletti vicino casa prendendo piccoli pesci. All’età di 14 anni mi sono avvicinato al Carpfishing leggendo i primi articoli nei giornali di settore e da allora non ho piu’ smesso. Sono un fanatico della precisione e mi tengo costantemente aggiornato leggendo, guardando video e imparando dai [...]
Ho iniziato come tutti i bambini con la pesca al colpo, dilettandomi in alcune competizioni a livello provinciale, ma sempre più mi interessavano i pesci più grandi che mio padre catturava. Quando sono diventato un adolescente ho iniziato a insediare i canali del mio paese cimentandomi nella tecnica del carpfishing che nel tempo [...]
Trede 1. Pakje Continental Mugga’s in maatje 4, handgeslepen door de meester zelf Jason Hayward.
Up on the scales she went 58lb 12oz, a new PB and to say I was elated would be an understatement. With the pictures done and the Ulcer Fish safely returned to her home, I sat back and tried to take it in. I did not have much time to do that though as a short while later Rob was playing his first Welly carp...
I don’t think she even know she was hooked, so I jumped up as quick as anything and then she bolted, and my reel went into melt down. Luckily, the fight was over quickly, as she didn’t know what had happened. I got her out and took photos and weighed her; 31lb exactly and I was over the moon. One target achieved...
Hier zit ik nog in men kot met de Covid19 maatregelen die nog altijd in voege zijn, maar er is licht aan het eind van de tunnel want vanaf 4 mei mogen we van onze federale regering terug gaan vissen, dus we gaan in dit artikel nog eens terug in de tijd, want volgend artikel is van een nieuw avontuur...
