  1. well done that man!!!!! I picked up a carp mag to read on the plane about a year ago and it had an article where Mr Locke had a trailer or motor home and was driving down to this lake so he could fish and have a nice time with the family, not a bad way to catch a monster.

    :rolleyes:

  2. It was a fantastic weekend! The Dynamite carp(et) feed has been working great! We've been mixing it with a bit of bread crumb and koi pellets along with some frenzied maize in PVA bags. fake plastic hook baits. This fish below was the larger of of 2 30s I had yesterday.

    nice 30's there, what's Dynamite carpet feed?, little pellets or some kind of groundbait or something. Great mirror too, saw it on another thread somewhere

    :rolleyes:

  3. most of the time all you need to do is stop the line from running off the spool just before the lead hits the water, then feel the lead down. Bit of practice you can get the lead to land nice and soft and you can feel what the lead landed on, hard or soft bottom. Works with a helicopter or simple lead clip, I wouldn't use an inline lead, the front of the lead will probably bury and the hooklink fold back and not sit right.

    You can also just pull the lead out of the silt, pva bags are good, stop the line again before the bag hits the water, the bag will sink slowy to the bottom.

    When you wind in, smell your rig B) . If it stinks, you are probably in too deep or in a rotten patch of silt, not good,

    the helicopter rig described sounds OK, never tried it,

    hope this helps,
