Pendle View -

We watched the new carp go in the lake on Tuesday 22nd July, every fish was fighting fit, Dave rang to say a lot had been caught by Thursday of the same week so I set about fishing there Friday night...

On arival the lake was quite full, the only option was peg 89, this looked good because the wind was blowing in that direction..... 15 minutes after setting up the wind changed .....(as per usual) and the sky darkened with thunder clouds, you could feel the pressure drop as the rain came.....

At 10:30 the right rod ripped, this was a boilie fished with a stringer around 35 yards out towards the holiday lodges, the rain was pouring during the fight which was powerul and quite worrying because visibility was poor and the heavy rain made concentration difficult, eventually the fish hit the net, a nice Mirror of 24lb, at first I thought it was a new stockie but I have looked back on the pics to confirm .....

I joined Big Foot on Pendle at T time on Saturday for a quick session to test out some of our new groundbaits and stick mixes, Big Foot had already had five fish so things looked good until the wind changed and the cloud vanished, we thought the day would yeild results and set our traps accordingly.... 16 bream later and the middle rod finally went, this rod was Tutti Fruity pop up over a pva bag containing one of our new baits and some hemp seed!





This 16lb Ghost carp was the result, it appeared that this was the only fish out in the 24 I was there, good result....
