Nice one man. Pat and I baited the hell out of the sommerville swim and eilers yesterday if you are looking for a spot for this weekend. I mean really baited them with kilos and kilos of boilies
your looking more and more like Paul from whacker bait and tackle...... ( a quick glance at your profile photo) the handle bars are legend!!!!
nice fish by the way and congrats on the mirror!!!
cheers.

what kind of camera was used for that video capture.
the quality is perfect.
thanks for the link.

Some nice fish there guys,
with lots of predators its bound to keep the smaller fish at bay allowing or a rather large margin between the smaller and the well know LARGER fish.
would love to get on there one day.
thanks for putting up your photos.
cheers.
Joel.

invest in some shock-leaders designed for spoding the tapered ones are nice. or just make a shock-leader from some heavy lb test mono. or my fave is fluorocarbon.
i never just use braid right to the spod. your asking to lose a finger!
or in your case a spod.

Many moons ago and lost in the mist of time I was blessed with the sight of a monster Mirror Carp on the bank!
The monster was 12lbs and not caught by myself! And changed my life to this very day 30 years on!
I would consider myself back then as a pleasure angler, just happy to be on a River bank or a pond and happy with anything daft enough to hook it's self. Then things changed, when in the last week of the "old" closed season (UK) my swing tip (remember them?) swung up tight, the culprit was a 3lb Tench and one more on the next cast! I read everything I could find on Tench angling, as I just loved them for their power and beauty!
The next season I just fished for Tench, but the site of that Mirror was burning so much, I just had to catch one! The gear and information was a little different back then, so I devoured every scrap of available info ! Carp Fever by Kevin Maddocks became my bible and also showed me that Carp were indeed catchable! The myth was blown away, maybe!
This is where night fishing begins! I lived in Canterbury at the time, and having two small children and earning a modest wage as a butcher I had the trusty bike! Two rods, reels, brollie, sun lounger, bait, tackle, and a sarnie and a bottle of pop and I was off to catch Leviathan! Oh lots of pedal power to reach my selected water over four miles away!
First rod set up and cast to an island margin, placed on the antenna buzzer, just setting up the second rod and Buuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, I could not believe it! But the "churning" Mitchell reel showed I was in! My first ever Carp run! I hooked the fish for a second before the rod sprang back!
There was a wind knot in the Dacron hook link, Gutted!!! This small 4.5 acre pit contained twelve Carp! That was all the action as the winter was far too cold.
The next season:
I was invited to fish for a week by a friend with two of his friends, a big pond with a caravan site next to it, how could I resist? So off we go! We arrived at the caravan site, and then I was greeted by the site of the most amazing Carp water I have ever seen to this day! This was no Redmire pool, But huge, around 90 acres! The water was crystal clear, the bottom could be seen in six ft of water! And solid with pond weed!
We had no idea what this pond held, but I did not care, I was a "Carp angler" and Carp I will fish for!
That question was answered the next day, as I sat in my swim watching a Dolphin display with 30lb+ Carp leaping full out of the water!
That day I hooked and lost two big Carp! I was a "Noddy" leave it at that! However I used my eyes, and spotted a good fish feeding on a small gravel hump on the right of my swim! So that afternoon the swim was raked and baited for the night!
I forget the exact time but around 3am the buzzer buzzed, and then the reel started to spin! A doer fight an she was in the net!!! Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss! I ran back to the Caravan and woke my friends, not easy as they had had a drinkypoo's! Back at the water my prize and very first ever Carp was a 17lbs Mirror!
At that time it was the biggest fish I had ever seen on the bank and was stunning! I might just add that the water is the hardest water I have ever fished, as I was to find out a few years latter! I had twelve consecutive 72hrs blanks!
So what does Carp angling mean to me? Well lots of things! To wake at 4am to a flat calm water, to watch the mist spiraling above the Lilly pads, to watch Fox cubs rolling down the bank, to watch Monsters swimming in the clear shallows, the expectation and the solitude, the first bleep, then the take! To hold one of the most awesome fish that swims!
Lastly to have been honored to met an befriended some wonderful people along the way, It's just that Carp angling is in my blood.

The pond:
that place looks like radar's lake in the UK.
thanks for the enjoyable read!
