May 2010

Venue: Rainbow Lake, Burstwick.

Species: Mirror Carp

Weight: 23 lb 8 oz

Bait: SC25 18mm SC25

Tackle and Rig: Trimmed down 18mm SC25, tipped with pop up corn, with a rig consisting of a korda size 8 kurv shank, fox core-tex, korda shrink tubing, and some critical mass putty to get it all pinned down. Quick linked to a korda leadcore leader with a 3oz square pear attached using a korda safety lead clip incase it managed to get itself snagged, which it didn't.

Story: Fished in a hole of lillies where I had seen fish moving in and out of before hand, with a bag of chops and a stick. After allot of vicious liners, I finally got the take, which resulted in the fish, 'sparky', which made it the third time it had came out in eight days. And at the time, was the biggest fish out so far in the year!
