Hi All,
Many thanks for your tremendous input into this Blog, the catch reports below are extremely useful as they give a live and true representation of what is actually happening on the lakes. One thing is for sure the fish have really piled the weight on in all venues.
We have had of late a flurry or recurring rule questions in office which is why I would like to elaborate on them a bit.
Leadcore: No leadcore is allowed on any part of the tackle because over the last 10 years over 90 percent of tethered or damaged fish are associated to the use of this material, it has a particular behaviour in water once freed of the mainline. More often than not it actually wraps itself around the gills causing significant distress.
Braided mainline: Braided mainline is not allowed for carp fishing albeit it is tolerated if a 10metre nylon or fluoro shockleader is used and that the connection knot between mainline and shockleader allows the lead and lead clip to be released. However, no mainline braids of less than 9kg strength should be used as lesser strength braids are too fine and dangerous. Braided mainline is allowed for marker rods and spod rods.
Predator fishing: Pike and other predator fishing is at the discretion of the lake owner, if you intend to lure fish for predators during the stay it would be better to contact us prior to visit so that we may ask the owners for consent.
Unhooking mats: Please remember that these fish are becoming bigger and heavier, anything less than 1.2m long and 0.8m across should not be used. If you intend to weigh your carp in the unhooking mat, the latter must have side zips to prevent the fish from falling out.
That's enough boring information from me tonight, I'd much rather hear from you guys actually out there and catching them...
A bientôt
