James salmons relates the capture of a surface-caught lump.
Coming up to the autumn I had a decision to make; things had been going well on the place I was fishing and the carp I wanted the most was due out. In the end I planned to stay on the pit until it was caught and then move over to my other syndicate, which was close by, and fish it through the winter. Just a couple of weeks later a good friend of mine, Kasie, called me to say he’d got some good and bad news. Straight away I knew which fish was in his net! I was made up for him and as I came off the phone I knew my next session was going to be spent on the other lake.
By the time I got in to the car park for my first trip I was buzzing with excitement! The lake holds some stunning fish and I couldn’t wait to get going. On my first lap round I found fish in one of the corners straight away. I climbed up an overhanging tree and could see that there were a fair few fish around and, what’s more, I could clearly see that three of the A-team were also in attendance.
Tackle was quickly retrieved from the car and I was back in the corner in no time. I climbed another tree overlooking the swim and could see a small spot in the marginal weed which looked prime for a hookbait. The only worrying thing was that the fish were not interested in dropping down at all and spent most of their time mid water, just slowly swimming around. I could see a spot further up the margins that the fish were clearly avoiding which had another angler’s bait on it. This didn’t exactly do my confidence any good!

Mask The Smell
His latest session on Bluebell Kingfisher Lake, Northamptonshire, saw Terry Fitzgerald make it five forties in five trips with this 43¼lb common (below). Richworth S-core boilies produced the goods for Terry, who fished on a clear area where he baited with five kilos of low-oil pellets and free offerings. The hookbait was offered on a rig including an Avid Carp Drop-OffInline lead coated with clay to “mask any smell from human fingers”.
