Rob Allen took advantage of the beautiful weather recently, over on Christchurch Lake at Linch Hill. Throughout the course of his session, Rob banked six-carp, with all but one coming to floating baits, including The Krill Floaters. His catch was topped by two thirties and a fish known as Ben’s Common at 43lb 12oz.

Rob revealed: “On my first day, I had a great surface session, topping the day off with two thirties, with the best being a fish known as Honeypot at 31lb. The following day I wasn’t so luck and I ended up wondering back to camp rather dejected after a tough day of surface fishing.

“Upon my return to my peg, I noticed the guy next-door had left, so I decided to take advantage of the tall climbing tree in the swim he had vacated. Low and behold, I spotted a good fish slurping down some mixers right below me. I shimmied back down and lowered a hookbait onto the are the fish was feeding. Five minutes later, she was in the net! This made up for my lack of action through the day.

“The following day, I landed a lovely common off the bottom fishing over a bed of The Krill Pellets and Bloodworm Pellets but it wasn’t until my final day that I landed the biggest fish of the session. I had packed up all my gear, with every intention of going home, however a swim had just been vacated and it looked prime for a floater! After what felt like ages, fighting off every seagull in Oxford, I eventually tricked a large common into taking the hookbait. I couldn’t believe it when Ben’s Common was lay in my landing net! What an awesome result on the ever-faithful Krill Floaters!”
