The other weekend a friend of mine went Carp fishing, he didnt catch one, but did have 8 catfish to just under 20lb.
So this weekend he went back to catch some Cats. He caught his livebait from the lake he was fishing for Cats.
Cast out his small Roach livebait, about 45 mins later he had a run, and landed it. A carp of 16lb 5ozs, he had 3 more Carp on livebait Roach, all Carp, between 12lb and the 16lb 5oz.
I have heard of anglers catching Carp and the odd Barbel before on live bait, but having had 4 Carp, I was wondering if this may have had something to do with them having spawned the week before.
