Upper Tamar Carp – Topped by the Peach

by | posted in: Carp Fishing, Sidebar | 0

We are delighted for Aaron Bunning who has put a lot of time in at Upper Tamar over the years and is reaping the rewards now. Aaron has been catching plenty of fish recently and landed ‘The Peach’ at 29lb 2oz . Down in weight but we anticipate this will go up again now. Aaron caught the fish within 10 minutes of putting his rods out and was delighted with the capture. Aaron also had two other stocked mirrors, one at 18lbs and one just over 20lbs. Nash Scopex Squid Wafters did the trick over a bed of 1kg of the same boilies. Well done Aaron…..

Ashley Bunning has had a cracking session on Upper Tamar last week with 7 fish to 21lb 4oz. The silver Mirror went 21lb 4oz with the remainder all being chunky mid to high double commons. Nash Scopex Squid Fluoros over a bed of matching freebies did the trick for Ashley….
