spent most of my time fishing this summer down at lodden lakes.. when i say most unfortunately we managed about 6 sessions. For anyone who knows the complex, all fish in this thread came from the smaller square lake, and not the long roadside lake. :cool: the lake is stocked with lots and lots of doubles, and there is a few 20s in there to go at too, so not exactly a specimen carp water, but at the same time it does contain a few lumps. We had a fair few fish out on the sessions we spent there, gjones2 had a fair amount of low doubles, and i managed good number of upper doubles and one 20, here's some of my better ones:

My first from the venue at 24lb and 12 oz:

That first session also resulted in a 16lb common and also a 14lber, also common.

I followed that session up with another session resulting in one common of 17lbs: (sorry about the photo quality)

So how many of you guys are following the progress of the Carp Championships in Italy that are taking place as part of the Sport Fishing World Championships?

I'm trying to find a place that gives up dates, prefereable live ones but to no avail so if anyone knows of a place please let me know. I'm keen to see if the South Africans can make it 3 in a row!!

We are pleased to announce there will be Back Of The Landing Net Charity Pairs Match on 1st / 2nd October at Little Hayes at Todber Manor. There will be a video which will go live just after 10pm with the full details. All money raised will be donated to Cancer Research
