7 Spanish carp in less than an hour!

We did a short night session fishing from 9pm to 12.45 today!

Paco from Carpones was due to join us but sadly he couldnt make it, due an order coming from Concept for you!

Angel suggested we fish the tail of the lake, it’s a spot I know well, but this time I did not fancy it. When we arrived it didnt look good, the water level is currently lower than normal due to irrigation, this means that fishing this peg would be at very short range into an even tighter corner. It looked poor the swim, but Angel wanted to try it and convinced me to give it a go!

We put rods out, mine with my currant favourite a Spicy Shrimp and Prawn 20mm Dynamite baits boilie, coupled with a Carpones PVA bag, stuffed with micro pellets, groundbait and broken frolic, tied to an Indyline combi rig and size 8 korda wide gape. The spot was no more than 30 yards range, so easy to get to!

My rod went off 3 times in very quick short succession, the same rod, the hot rod, my trusty JRC Skyliner was «on fire», the thud, thud thud of carp on the line was pleasant and all the fish were battle strong. The 3 fish that came for me were 7’s, that’s «777», one of them was 7.5kg, the others were a little less but a fine weight.

Trust me these fish are not the same, this one (right), was actually the 2nd, we did not need the klink for this one!

On my 3rd run a weird thing happened, when I picked up my rod to pull into the fish, the line on my swinger didn’t come off, it got stuck and my pod almost went over on the floor! Angel was on hand to help, carp fishing in pairs sometimes often essential.

I ran out of PVA bags after the 3rd fish and just knew before i’d tied that bag up that when the final bag was gone, the fishing would be over, and so right I was.

Not wanting to be negative I tied on a PVA stringer with boilies and put it back on the spot. I had a pick-up on that rod but no more.

My 2nd rod I fished with a korda maggot clip, needless to say, that rod was silent all night, maybe night wrigglers are harder to see at night any tips on that one?

The temperature got low for us, and came as some suprise when we checked to find just 3deg.C. this was a warning for the coming week. We still need to wrap up especially if were going to be doing nights.

The last two sessions on this water have produced 7 wonderful Spanish carp in two 1hr. blocks, when the fish come on, they are on, it’s really picking up now, tomorrow were off to Campillo, Comizo, COMizo, COMIZO!!!
