Carpers putting fish safety in danger are 'chucked off' day ticket venue. A number of anglers have been thrown out of one of the country’s top day ticket fisheries after being caught putting the safety of fish in danger. Bailiff’s at the popular Linear Fisheries, Oxfordshire took the step after finding anglers leaving their rods unattended while they wandered around the complex. In one instance an angler even got in his car and drove off to see if any pegs were free on other waters around the large fishery with his rods still baited and cast out.

Spicy boilie wins British Carp Angling Championship as competition comes down to just one last gasp fish. This is the boilie that won the BCAC 2011, after the bait accounted for a total of 12 fish for the winning team during 48hours of intense fishing. The victorious pair, Robert Julyan and Ashley Taylor from Northampton used the ‘Super Indian’ by Premier Baits throughout the final of the prestigious event, landing a total of 166lb 14oz of carp, included fish up to 27lb 14oz. However, the start of the event was very different to the triumphant conclusion for the duo, who thought disaster had struck after drawing the exact peg that they had already earmarked as the one the ‘definitely didn’t want’.

Big result on second visit to syndicate. This 43lb 12oz lump came as reward for a 48 session on a southern syndicate water for angler Bryan Jarrett. During only his second trip to the venue, Bryan targeted a gully between two weedbeds in around 5feet of water a 60yards range. “The weather during the day was extremely windy until the night and then very cold and calm for the rest of the trip,” said Bryan.
