47lber Is 'icing On Cake'
Total Carp Staff  |  Sep 07, 2011  |  0 comments
Massive mirror tops mega haul of four fish from legendary Colne Valley venue. At 47lb 8oz this beautiful mirror was the icing on the cake for well-respected carp angler Mark McKenna during a session that saw no less than four fish over 34lb banked. Testing out a prototype bait for his company Bait Craft at the legendary Savay Lake in the Colne valley, the massive hit of fish – including the 40 known as the Black Mirror – came after a run of blanks at the venue, but we’re sure this more than makes up for it. Mark’s week-long session at the venue which saw him fish the nights and go to work through the day, coincided with a full moon phase – a time of the month that often sees the bigger Savay fish go on the feed.

Pristine specimen finishes off 40 fish summer total. This stunning 35lb linear tops an amazing run of fish for Bristol-rod, Andy Edwards over the last few months after he put in the hours on a well-known Oxfordshire syndicate water. With a string of specimens already to his credit, including a 34lb 6oz mirror and a number of 20s, Andy caught the big linear from the famous Linch Hill using a 1inch chod rig fished to a tight silt area Andy had located in between weed beds. Fishing at 76yards range Andy’s deadly hook bait that has been the secret to his success, was a cork ball wrapped in Pallatrax Jungle paste.

Chunky Commons

This is our busiest period of the year, so fishing time is at a premium. However, I managed a couple of trips to a local water and caught this, and another chunky common in the mid-twenties. I’ve been trying to improve my floater fishing, something that might take some work I can tell you, but persistence will pay eventually, I’m sure! I’m still getting the odd round of golf in too – remember fishing is just part of our lives, not all of it. MARC COULSON, EDITOR.

It’s been a hectic month in the TC office but I’ve still managed to get out and bank a few. This cracking mirror was one of four fish caught on a feature at Bury Hill Fishery. I’ve also been doing a bit of floater fishing on a local venue after work. To say I’m rusty is an understatement!JASON UMNEY, EDITORIAL ASSISTANT.
