A lot of people ask me how I got into carpfishing, how long I’ve been fishing, why do you seem to catch carp on a regular basis?
Where do I start?
Well it was five years ago when I met my partner, he had just come back from working at Dream Lakes in France, and never stopped talking about it. I finally gave in and said I would go fishing with him to see what all the hype was about, but we lived in the lakes (Cumbria) where there was not many carp around so I went on a 3 day trip down to Suffolk with him where he let me use one of his rods. I had a couple of smaller fish out that trip and much to my own amazement I was hooked. That year I went on my first French trip to Abbey lakes, where I landed my first 30lb carp. What a week fishing and sun bathing a perfect combination if you ask me.
That week I saw my first Mercedes bait boat, yes you heard me right!
by Elie Godsi If I were to ask you to come up with the ‘ultimate’ test for a new carpbait - like Shaun’s Liver B8 - what would it look like? Maybe you would fish that bait on one rod alongside your other baits and compare your captures? Maybe you could compare your results with other anglers using other brands of boilies on the lakes you fish? Maybe you could fish it on a lake that had never seen that particular bait and see what your catch rate was like. All well and good but what about the ultimate test? (more…)
