SPARKIE Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 today went carpin at longford got there at 7am and my uncle arrived about 10 past 7...picked a peg that was big enough for us to share as he has just started carpin and this was his first attempt so we chose a lake that is fairly easy but there is some 30lb fish in there.the day went steady and we was constantly catching but the water is very snaggy and i lost 14 fish but i ended up with 23 carp and a few tench the carp were mainly around the 5-6lb mark but i had 1 at 9lb 1 fish at 14lb 20z and 1 at 16lb 7oz was a really good day and my uncle who has never fished for carp landed 23 carp his biggest being 9lb .there was only us two on the lake and we fished both sides of the island with doulbe tuti frutti pop up and pva bagged pellets anyhow heres a few pics...
