5th Annual Carp Fishing Holiday 2007 – Manicure Lake – Day 1

It’s the first day of my 5th annual fishing holiday. Normally I would be at the ‘pack’ ‘bivvied up’ but this year it’s to be spent doing day sessions at a ‘dawn till dusk’ day ticket water that has a few fat ones in it.
Last year I slayed them but this year I am two months early and for the first time it has been fished all year round.
Has it all changed? The Members Log book makes grim reading.

  • TheCarpCatcher:

    I think its …
    I think its sensible to go for 15lb line minimum really.
    Wear and tear and the enourmous strain a big carp can put on line in an instant demands it to be honest mate.
    I have used 12lb hooklinks but have found them to be too weak .

  • xRazorSkaterx:

    Do you think it’s …
    Do you think it’s suitable that i use 10lb mono for a small lake 6 foot deep with no snags? the carp go up to 28lb and i just wanted to check im not putting risk to the fish.

  • TheCarpCatcher:

    The line was 15lb …
    The line was 15lb braid with a 30lb leader or rig tube depending on the situation.
    The lake is not so deep and so a softly softly approach got the carp in remarkably easy.

    I did not lose any fish to line breaks or snagged fish in the three years I fished it.

  • xRazorSkaterx:

    That lake looks …
    That lake looks beautiful, i am very jealous you have fished such picturesque lakes! Just a quick question, what strain of line were you using in this situation as there seem to be a fair few lillies and snags around? Thanks, keep posting your wonderful blogs!

  • TheCarpCatcher:

    Yer I recall the mat was stashed in the shade with his gear.
    But fair point and somthing always to look out for eh.

    mind you if you put a carp on a mat now it would instanly stick/frezze to it!
