two carp on a plummet!!!!

[Anthony78]

a few lads went to morlands farm in worcestershire on wednesday to practice for our fur and feather. unfortunately i couldnt make it as i had to work. while one of the lads were plumbing up a carp took it squarely in the mouth. he even managed to land it. at around 7lb it was one of the biggest fish of the day. He put this down to fluke and carried on fishing,only for the same thing to happen again later in the day but he lost this one.

I thought it might be that the fish saw the puffs of dirt/silt and has taken the bait thinking it was an insect or worm.

has anybody ever heard of this??

Which only goes tp prove a point !!

it has happend to on the dock river in Hawich plumbing up before a match and the carp would take the plummet.

Which REALLY proves a point

Peter, best tread a bit carefull here mate as Ive had loads of Pike grab black bombs on the end of paternoster rigs when Ive been winding in!

But Budgie - no one ever even hinted that pike are smart.

[Peter Waller]

No, but they are always telling us how incredibly smart carp are! Now the truth is creeping out.

[Dick Dastardly]

Fair point guys plus being a real mans fish the pike are just being aggressive and laying the law down to the strange object in its mannor!

Which is just as well when you look at some Pike anglers.

[Peter Waller]

But atleast pike don't just take plummets without there being a bait hooked onto the tackle somewhere near!

 

And strangely enough pike rarely fall for a boilie!!
