Nice looking fish, Colin. Fair play to you.

 

Hope I don't bump into you in a dark alley one night, though

 

Have you recently started going after carp, or just had all your best catches in the last few days? How big do they go in that water?

 

Tight lines,

Elton, the water is called Twynersh in Chertsey. There are 7(i think) pools and the one I fished has carp,tench,roach,rudd,perch and I'm told pike.

Up til now I had only caught 2 carp, a 2 and a 1/2 about twenty years ago and a 6 and 3/4 last year on different waters So this time having been given advice how to fish this water I was hoping for a carp or two, three as it turned out to be over 3 days just fishing during the day. The biggest I've heard to come out is 22lb on a POLE!! I was float fishing prawns, sweetcorn and cockles on one rod and had a carp rod on sweetcorn or boilies. 2 carp came on prawns and the PB was on hair rigged sweetcorn. And if you did bump in to me in a dark alley I would pick you up, dust you down and buy you much alchohol for running this fine establishment

Oh Dear, I'm gonna get a reputation as a carpie soon. Got a 13 and a half mirror today as weighed by Reuben Heaton as opposed to guessing as I did before so now a genuine double+. Followed this with a 9 3/4lb common(my biggest common) 4 more commons over 6lb and 2 mirrors just under 10. Again not big in the grand scale of things but more carp than I've caught in my life and a PB too
