Upper Tamar 31lb Common

by | posted in: Carp Fishing, Sidebar | 0

Shaun Freeman shared these pictures from Upper Tamar: “I’ve been stuck on a 28lb PB for a long time so this 31lb common means a lot. I did an overnighter in gut bucket bay and had three small carp, but heard larger fish topping up by the quarry, so did a night in the quarry fishing the margins. I finished over about 2 kg of 12 mm GS 10 and had the take about 5 o’clock in the evening on a 16 mm pop-up on a Multi rig. Backed up by a 20lb mirror and a 17lb common.”

Gigantica Adventure

Quay Sports Shop manager Chris Connaughton – Mono has recently returned from the almighty Gigantica. Fishing in very tough conditions with the lake not producing many bites Chris decided that Instead of using the usual spomb tactic to get a bed of bait out at around 100yards he opted to utilise our very own Hunter Pro FantaStik (throwing stick) to spread the feed to keep the fish moving as well as baiting up from the bank. This saw Chris land 3 carp to 34lb using his own Remix Baits Cellnapple pop ups alongside Mainline Baits freezer boilies.
