Angler Comments
What a week here on the Road lake with a total of 67 carp being landed. All goes down to the lads from Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, great angling lads. With the weather being really hot and temperatures up in the 30’s for most of the week it didn’t stop these lads from catching.
Zack Barrett was set up in Shingles, and over the course of the week he had fourteen carp. 5 x doubles, 5 x 20s, 3 x 30s to 34lb and a 41lb common called Mr Massive. He found a spot at 75 yards just to the right of the the island, Zack was baiting up every day with 4 kg of Manilla boilies from Sticky Baits. He had all three rods placed tight together over the spot, using combi rigs' with a size four Korda Krank hook and a boilie tipped with a white pop up fishing snowman style.
Roger Seymour decided to go in Turtle Corner and throughout the week he had 3 x doubles, 7 x 20’s to 28lb 2oz and two cracking 30’s to 34lb 7oz. His left hand rod was cast along the left hand margin at 21 wraps, his middle rod was at 15 wraps towards the island and the right hand rod was cast at 16 wraps this was inline with Tea Party 2. Roger was baiting up with a kilo of boilies over each spot every day just before tea. Over the course of the week he used a total of 15 kilos of Mainline Cell boilies, and rig wise he was using the DF rig with a Cell wafter as his hook bait.
Chris Watson was set up in Tea Party 1. Over the week he had 4 x doubles, 2 x 20’s, 3 x 30’s up to 39lb and a cracking common called Mable at 40lb 8oz. All three of his rods were cast straight out at 17 wraps. Chris was baiting up every day with three kilos of boilies, he was then using IQ D rigs with a home made wafter as his hook bait. After seeing a few carp show to the right of his swim he decided to put out a 13ft zig with a white pop up on, and it wasn’t long before he was into a nice 36lb mirror. Chris ended up catching eight carp on his zig rig approach.
Allan Robins was set up in Tea Party 2, and he had a total of nine carp for the week includeing 2 x doubles, 2 x 20’s and 5 x 30’s to 37lb. All 3 rods cast straight out at 11 wraps, where Allan was baiting up every day with four kilos of boilies with his catapult. He was using a combi rig with a manilla boilie as his hook bait.
Ian Watson was in Billys and he had a total of nine carp for the week. One double, 7 x 20’s to 29lb 8oz and a 38lb mirror. Ian had two rods at 18 wraps inline with Tea Party 2, and the third rod was cast to the right hand margin. Over the week he used a total of 20kg of boilies and 20kg of the Gigantica Pellets that we supply. Ian would bait up after every fish just to keep them interested, and fopr rigs he was using IQ D rigs with a Banoffee wafter for hook bait.
Jamie Turner went into the Decoy swim. He had a total of five carp for the week, 2 x doubles and 3 x 20’s up to 25lb. Jamie had all three rods straight out in front on top of the Plato at 20.5 wraps. Jamie was baiting up every day with 5kg of boilies, and like many he was using the every faithful IQ D rigs with Banoffee wafters. A winning formula on the Road Lake.

He baited up every day with a kilo over each rod, and over the week he landed a 13lb mirror, 20lb common and to top it of he land Ron’s at 44lb 6oz.
