48h carp weekend

[Gnasher]

Well as the weather had been hit and miss, i decided to spend the weekend carp fishing on a lake in the new forest with lewis (my 7 year old) and my dad.

 

Anyway, i know most are not interested, but i'l post for the few who i know are keen on freshwater fishing.

 

The 48hour session was a flier anyway, with over 50 carp between the 3 of us up to 25lb+ mixed in big roach getting on to 3lb and some decent bream.

 

It was great watching my son landing his first good carp aswel, and he finished with 6 of them, mixed in woth some smaller species.

 

Dom popped up on the way from work just for a beer and grabbed a tiny 5ft telescopic rod from the car that he had in there from his fishing on a tiny 6ft wide brook that runs through the forest and promptly landed a nice fish on a dog biscuit.

 

Plenty of pics below of some of the good fish, with a mix of commons, mirrors, fully scaled mirrorr and a nice half linier mirror.

Sounds like a great weekend Dan - well done.

 

Any pictures of the roach? My target for the year is a 2 pounder but have not got close yet! Having another go on the River Stour this evening.

Some cracking fish in good condition Dan, and great to see your son land his fish.

 

Well done.

mike, roach pic.....Plenty of big roach trotting between the boats on the stour at christchurch quay, but you are better off waiting another month and hiting the avon between ibsley and fordinbridge park.

That's a cracker Dan - well done.

 

I'm just off for a go on the Stour at Sturminster - hope I find one even half that size. Either way it will be good to get out and will beat staring at the sea hoping the waves will die down!!
