A terrific report, and two splendid fish.
You showed that it sometimes takes a lot of bait and a lot of patience to get those big mobile fish.
Food for thought to the rest of us.
Pleased it worked so well for you guys.
-
Thanks from me, too, Marcy.
I absolutely agree with John that we 'Paylakers and Eurolakers ' are much closer in our beliefs and approaches than many believe (certainly here in NC and TN).
I have also greatly benefitted from the wisdom and knowledge of the paylaker community in my wildwater fishing -- to extent I try to 'convince' new brits who arrive here of the superiority of packbait (they learn eventually!!!).
I look forward to CAG building bridges and growing stronger in this way.
-
Fantastic session --- especially for NC!!!!
-
Well, it was a good looking kipper, Whidd.
The lake looks 'interesting' too.
Well done again, you've thoroughly smashed Colin's old NC CAG mirror record of 33Lb odd. I'm really pleased for you.
-
My thanks to Tom and Tony, also.
You guys did us proud.
Confirmed to me we are all carp fishers together, and how the paylake approach does not take prisoners (especially when someone does something really stupid -- like using leadcore if anyone could possibly do that
..)I'd love to return, might even catch one or two next time.
... and though my early morning departure made me miss saying goodbye to some of you, I enjoyed all your company greatly.
And Bigbird, your stories

Good luck with the second lake. Hope it has some good fish for you -- I like the idea it's so old .
Exploring beats plodding away at the usual spots!!
-
Keep 'em coming, Travis. You've got the tricks now (lol)
-
Well done, D Guy =-- hope you come to love those Cammack fish, however they treat you!!
-
Another good looking fish - well done, Travis.
(Mine were 11, 16, 17 today, by the way.., got to work through the doubles sometimes there.)
-
Tres bien, mon ami!
-
Great report, Guys. For me you certainly win the 'extreme fishing' award of the week!!!
Pleased the fish turned up for you big time. One day, I have to get to fish the Larry
-
Brilliant stuff, Danny.
I did like the music in the last part.
'I'm goin' to miss her' might just be my favourite country tune (!)
-
Bloody hell, Santosh! This is hard core sharking . Remember you described some of this stuff when we were driving back from carp fishing. The photos bring it all to life...
-
Sorry you didn't catch, guys. I reckon Rick's 'preparations' may have done for you yesterday .......
.It was good to see you on the bank yesterday, hopefully we can spend more time fishing in the same area as the fall progresses.
Here's the one fish that didn't seem to have lockjaw on the day.
-
Yeah, Agree with Fitz -- Horace joins the tackle tart club!!!
A very smart bit of innovation, indeed!
-
-
Great stuff, Carpas. Last weekend was a good one, evidently ! See you soon. Agree the fish look in good condition for the time of year, there must be some abundant natural food in the area.

Very strange, isn't it, that a large thunderstorm could cause an "algae crash"? Definitely plausible that such a crash could deplete oxygen levels, but I don't understand what could cause such a crash, unless the thunderstorm washed pesticides and/or fertilizers into the water?
All very speciulative - one person said that they were on the lake Saturday, algae all over the lake surface making fishing very difficult. Storm overnight - Sunday all algae had disappeared (presume sunk)...
There are many consiracy theories (persticides, poisoning) but it does seem that the oxygen crash is most likely --- and it sadly does happen in the summer in some Uk waters. I know that.
-
I've read all the posts on both the Uk forums that explored this. Several posters knew first hand what was seen (fish were bleeding from gills etc) . Consensus seems to be an algal bloom, followed by heavy storms - result sadly complete oxygen depletion in the pit concerned. Everything died, including snails. Perch & pike came up first, usual indicators of lower oxygen levels.
I have seen the results of bluegreen algae on a lake I used to fish near the Kent coast. Not pretty. Sometimes pumps can mitigate the kill until weather conditions change... some say that hay bales can preempt the situation.
The hard winter followed by this year's spring & summer weather seems to have triggered it. Bad news for the anglers who were trying to catch the fish - and by the way the '60' common appears to be a 42, caught last year apparently.
. and the EA (UK Environmental Authority) has taken water samples so real cause will become known in due course.
-
Well done, both of you. Looks like they were feeding properly today (!) . As always, nice pics. See you soon ..
-
Well done, Horace. Great story ,as always, and a lovely fish
-
Scary stuff
-

I know - I am simply in awe..

Well done to all who caught.... sorry I couldn't be there today to join you.
Dennis, that chunk was worth the wait.
And thanks, Danny for setting this up
