Time is running out if you want to fish the 2014 World Carp Classic final – there are only a few places left! Held every year since 1998, this year the big event moves to Lake Bolsena, in Italy, from September 29th to October 5th. If you’d like to take part and represent the UK while competing against the best carp anglers in the world, you need to fish in the UK qualifying match, at the new Wraysbury 1, on July 24th to 27th. With a stock of around 50 originals and 350 hand-picked new fish, and recent captures to just under 50lb, this iconic fishery is definitely back on the map! There will be 20 double swims available to 40 anglers, covering the 45-acre lake. The cost of entry to the UK qualifier is £250 per pair with a maximum of four rods.
The new season at scarper carper’s Lac de Paix has arrived with a bang… or two! The company, which provides self-drive fishing holidays in France, has announced the capture of two huge carp, with both fish falling to the same angler. Michael Martin’s first fish was also a new lake record! ‘Starburst’ weighed in at an impressive 56lb, and was caught on Michael’s first trip to Lac de Paix. Taken on Lake Special baits, the carp has packed the weight on over the winter and is looking good on it. His second fish was another new lake record, a 45lb 3oz common! Once again, the fish was in immaculate condition.
