Davy revealed:

“The single session we had back in early winter, soon became a campaign and we haven’t looked back since! Blessed with mild weather, we kept both the Krill and Manilla Active trickling in over our spots and have fallen very lucky. We have of course had to suffer some blank sessions, but the ultimate prize is still out there and until we meet it, we aren’t going to stop!

“Although the mirror was the biggest fish between us, the common was the one that gave me the biggest thrill. The lake has a very big common in there and of course we would both dearly love to catch it! So, when I got a bite and entered into a tense battle with a big fish, like always, my heart was racing. This wasn’t made any better, when I saw a large flank of common scales, circling close in, ready for the net! Could it have been my target fish of several years? Alas it wasn’t to be, but it was still a huge fish all the same. It only makes us want to try even harder, to hopefully, finally cross paths with the queen of the pond!

“We have found baiting with a mixture of boilies to be a real key, but also have added the Pure Calanus Liquid to our armoury. The carp seem to really like it, and hopefully it will help trip up the big one sooner rather than later!”
