Luke shared –
“After an extremely tough weeks fishing, I went into my final night on Kracking Karp on a bit of a downer, I just wasn’t expecting this! My rods were set at 5pm and in my head I knew what I was doing was right, it was up to the fish at this point. Come 10pm my right rod screamed off on a near enough locked up reel so I was on it in seconds, what a buzz that was! After an intense 5 minute battle in the pitch black I got it free of the lily pads and securely in my net, what a result!
I fished Peg 1 using a solid bag presentation consisting of a wide gape pattern hook on a 3″ hook link and a 3oz inline lead. In terms of bait I used a mixture of krill boilies, krill pellets, cloudy krill liquid and sweetcorn.
Perfect way to end another great week at Anglers Paradise! Thanks again, we will be returning for sure!”
