J.s.newson’s Fishing Diary - Mirror Carp Fishing at Aveley Lakes, essex

Captor’s Comments:

The carp was caught in one hour of casting out over a pre-bait spot on a Korda size 8 wide gape hook with shrink tube, kryston Merlin hook length 1oz pear lead put in a pva bag with Essex carp baits F.I.A amino pellets and hemp a F.I.A cork dust wafter as hook bait. I believe its only the 3rd carp out this year.
