π£ Seven Carp on David's First Visit to Glovers!
Not a bad way to introduce yourself to a new lake!
David joined us on Glovers for the first time between 2nd and 5th October, spending three nights on Peg 7 and finishing with an impressive seven carp, including two fish over 35lb! π

And the approach? Refreshingly straightforward.
David fished single bottom baits around five yards off the far bank, using simple knotless-knot hair rigs with mono hooklinks and size 8 or 4 hooks.
His bait of choice was Carp Company Icelandic Red Cranberry & Caviar - a boilie he's been using for 20 years and, in his own words, has never blanked with!
Conditions varied through the session, with temperatures reaching 20Β°C before cooler weather arrived, generally high atmospheric pressure and a mixture of south-westerly and westerly winds.
Seven fish, two over 35lb and a first visit to remember.
A cracking result, David. Congratulations, and we hope to see you back on Glovers soon! π£
