Well here I go diving deep and starting my own blog, Two main reasons are to give others an insight in to the life of a modern day carp angler and to also record my own captures and info from waters that I fish.
This season so far has been a great one for me, as my previous personal best was a 17lb River Weaver Common which a few years ago was a great capture (image below)

This July I joined Lymm Anglers and I have beat that personal best on no more than 14 times, I have had some truly stunning fish and some magical sessions since joining Lymm and having nothing but good things to say about the club.
My new personal best is now a 28lb Mirror known as Bretts Fish caught from Belmont pool on the 28th August I remember it well. The only down side was I was fishing alone and never got the picture I wanted see below (how disappointed I was)
I have been put on to a great bait SPS from 1toners and all of my results have been on this bait, I have fished with a spread of 20 or so around the hook bait along with my own take on a pva stick. (Image below)
I have had a number of 20+ fish from Belmont and Beech, two of the waters I have targeted this year with good success. All Pics will all be in my album to view.
In September this year I took a trip to The Monument fishery. On Peg10 one of the least favourable pegs I hooked into what felt like a monster and my new pb for sure after a good fight i slipped the net under a immaculate looking mirror.
I was over the moon to say the least and only to my disappointment the fish weighed in at 27 dead.
Just a quick round up on the year so far. I will be keeping up to date with pictures and reports and also a look at some of my rigs.. Till next time-good angling.....



Nice summary Mike keep up the good Bloggin' like the twist on the traditional PVA mesh bag of goodies will be trying that myself!! See you soon, Bob.
