A cloudy fishing day

ROUND two of the Carp­R­Us Summer/Autumn Series was fished at the El Bosquet complex on pegs 26­40. The previous couple of days had been very hot, but fortunately the match was fished in mainly cloudy conditions with the odd light shower and a light breeze helping make the conditions not too bad.

Over the last year or so this stretch has seen a large increase in the number of mullet and a gradual drop in the number of carp caught and so was the case when, if you wanted to fish for them, there were mullet aplenty, but the carp were more elusive.

First was Jeremy Fardoe with 13.00kg caught on pole and bread from peg 28. Unfortunately, Jeremy’s day ended with him stripped to his underwear and entering the water to rescue a couple of sections of his pole that had fallen in. Second was Dave Hutchinson on peg 34 who did include a couple of good carp in his 8.64kg caught on pole and maggot. Third was Richard Crawshaw with 8.42kg caught using feeder and maggot and fourth was the ever­consistent Willy Moons with 6.80kg also on feeder.
