Matt springall carp angler

I arrived at the lake Friday after work and had a good walk around for a hour or so I found a few fish swimming in and out of a bay so decided to set up there for my session.

The first 24 hours was quiet and on the Sunday morning I was into my first fish these both came with in a hour of each other and both fell to the same baiting and rig tactics.

Rig wise I was using the D rig and the components of the rig are a size 6 curve shank using the Korda dark matter coated braided hook link 25lb breaking strain with a knotless knot with a Ridgemonkey D rig kicker slid over the hook with a micro ring swivel for bait attachment using bait floss, then using trimmed down white and pink krill waters fished in a PVA bag with 6 & 2mm alla aqua pellets, crushed krill boillies and the krill powder and a good helping of the krill cloudy liquid.

After a long, wet and muddy 2 days one the syndicate this one finally graced the net after tackling through the bream all night.

It fell to the chod rig fishing an almond goo soaked 16mm pop up with a piece of cork drilled into it as the pop ups have been soaking for some months.

I was also fishing particle baits with a good helping of crushed and crumbed cell boillies and a lot of manilla liquid attraction.

I arrived to the lake Saturday morning just before first light, I was standing in one of the swims i was in favour of fishing and no longer than 10 mins of me standing their I was lucky enough to see a carp show its self ( head and shoulders out of the water ) and my mind was made up form their on out.

This lovely carp fell to the ol faithful chod rig with a 16mm pop up soaked in the pineapple goo I was fishing crushed cell boillies crumbed Manilla boillies and some 10 and 4mm alla aqua pellets and a tin of corn mixed in with lots of the Manilla liquid.
