SURFACE FISHING HEAVEN!

[carper_AJ]

Hello,

 

i love the joy and excitement (and frustration) of surface fishing for carp. I tried it first in a small estate pond nearby, with carp pushing twenty but it's REALLY HARD FISHING

i arrived one early to blank once again!!! when to my amazement the carp where everywhere, a common which looked like a definite pb just sitting in front of me!!! i gently lowered my bait-banded piece of bread to the surface!!! i was distracted and turned around,,,,,,i turned back to see,,,,,well nothing bread gone and common slowly lowering back down into the unknown.

i was quite as my pb then was just 5lb. I bent into the fish, it kited hard to my to left, heading for the same island that i got broke off by an even bigger carp!!!!! Tip under the water, i cushioned the fast rotating spool and brought the carp back into my swim, after another dive to a sunken tree on my right i finally brought the gold scaley common over the rim of my net what i used to think was massive!!!!It was just touching 11lb minus the net, 10 and a half!!!!!!!

heaven i carefully let the fish glide back through the murky water!!!!!!! I really had to home i didnt have any more carp on my mind!!!!!!!! That one, was enough for me

at the time i thought im not going to catch a bigger fish than that for ages but that was then!!!!

AND BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!!!!!

JOIN ME IN SUFACE FISHING HEAVEN 2, WHERE A PB FIRST CAST AND CARRY ON TO LAND 5 MORE!!

 

THANKS FOR,

SORRY IF I BORED YOU.

Great post and yep I agree, surface fishing really is a cracking way to spend some time!

 

Have you tried it at night when the pool is still and theres a decent moon in the sky? Watching em come up for it just watching the reflections is great too!!! They are just as crafty at night too!

Carper AJ, you didn't bore us at all! We're always pleased to read when someone has been successful. I look forward to hearing more about your catches.

 

I caught my first two double figure carp this week, and I'm still buzzing from it, so I know how you felt. Brill, isn't it?

If I'm not mistaken there were three of them.

I must have missed the third one.

Think back. It was in 2004.
