my weekend

[fantasticfisherman]

although i cant remember whether i put my topic on rods for 'stalking' carp in the margins on this forum or the coarse forum, i went to the place in question, it was a touring caravan/camping site with a couple of ponds about three quarters of an acre in size with carp in up to 30lb. i came back a very happy chappy with three doubles and one single(all mirror carp)under my belt they went 12lb, 12lb 8oz, 13lb 8oz and 7lb respectively . my dad had one at the last knockings that was 10lb.no pb's this time but all good fish(for me anyway)despite the weather down in wiltshire we had a great time. all were taken on luncheon meat in the margins

Sounds like a great days fishing. Did you catch any stalking or were they all on the 'buzzers'

sorry i forgot to mention they were all on the float, people do use use buzzers there but it is a waste of time as the bottom is mud and silt which they do not seem to know when they are using their 3oz leads

Given the right location Fanty, you just can't beat float fishing can you!

 

Not only can it prove more productive, but there's a magnetism about watching a float. Stand next to someone float fishing - you watch their float, the guy walking his dog down the bank stops & watches your float - it's like a drug & totally addictive to all who dare to look.

 

Nice one on your captures!
