caught my first carp

[Chris Scott]

on thursday, at hallcroft in retford, NOTTS.

using 2 rods one carp and the other float fishing.

in all 22 fish were landed, 5 carp,(a 2LB ghost,3 common, and a mirror) the biggest being a 6LB common

to say i was happy was an understatment.

the other fish were the usual roach, dace, gudgeon, and perch.

all the carp were caught on catfood (vitacat duck and turkey in gravy) on 15LB line and size 14's barbless hair rig.

cant wait til next week to go again

Hiya Chris, well done mate, you'll soon be into carp fishing then?. I also like to do some thing different for a change, in my case it's the float fishing as I am usually carp fishing.

 

I'm pleased for you on the capture, keep it up.

Well Done on the catch mate, but surely 15lb line and size 14 hooks is a tad unbalanced! If the lake is weedy then i can understand 15lb line but then why the 14's? and if it isn't weedy then why the 15lb line?

Well Done again!

[Chris Scott]

size 14 is the biggest hook alowed at the fishery.

some weedy areas too so thats the 15LB line bit
