Saturday 24th April - Highampton, Devon - Again, Again!!

Sorry but another report from Highampton, Devon - Different Venue next weekend for a change and the start of the 20lb + carp search.

My two boys fished we me and we had whole lake to ourselves most of the day.

Me fishing my 15mm home made freezer boilers - fishmeal base cast to the island and boys fishing 6mm expanders on the wagglers over a bed of 4mm soaked up with CSL.

Later in day we went up the lake to fish freelined strawberry pc dog biscuits in the reeds with some freebies and 6mm floating pellets getting them going. Dog biscuits banded to a hair tied on the hook shank and fixed with a cut section of pellet band so it sat straight down the back of the hook. Worked better just moving the hook 20mm away from the biscuit. Carp seem to miss it as they are looking and checking the biscuit itself.

First cast and a few minutes later both my carp rods screaming and carp in on my boilies and pva bags.

Wife came out at luchtime with some nice pies from the local butchers -

Our swims - boys seem to be taking over my fishing tackle and leaving me out in the cold!!



The island and small bay inset which is my target when clipping down and marking the lines.



Carp caught - nothing yesterday over 10lb but all nice fish.







Some from the reeds and on floaters:



This one will be a super fish when he gets bigger



Bream on the waggler and pellets:



The carp net the boys put together



The Silvers




Only thing is where to go next week?
