Went fishing yesterday for a few hours. Plonked thepop-up at the edge of a willow tree (I'm not a great fan of pop-ups but thoughtI would stand a better chance of a bite because of all the leaves and winter muck there)and had the best 45 minutes carp fishing ever.

1st one 16lb bang on, 2nd 11.7, 3rd 7.2. All this in 50 minutes from 3.25pm-4.10pm. All on theone pop-up. Remember I had to catch them, land them, pic, write in my little book of catches (sad I know but I like to keep a recorded of anything over 5lb that comes out the lake).

Anyone caught more carp within an hour?

My next thread will proberly be... I havent caught a carp in ages/forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

Couple of years ago I caught 14 carp and 2 tench in a days session. This was on a small lake with small fish.

in the space of 5 hours i once had 35 out, my mate had 28. nothing bigger then 8lb, but when everyone else is hardly catching and start sniffing around to see what bait your using, it feels good.

Thats true Alan. By the 3rd one I had 6 people around me wanting to know how I was doing it.

No secret, it was just one of those things. Did tell one lad a fib though. He asked what flavour pop-up and I said tuttie when it was a scopex. Dont want the whole lake starting to use the same bait now do I /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

I took three guys from Dorset out on a coaching session Tuesday. After a long morning of coaching and waiting for the freezing fog to lift the guys got their baits in the water by about 2.30 pm Matt started with a 20lb 05oz mirror a new PB, one hour later caught another PB at 20lb 08oz and finished the day with another new PB 21lb what a terrific result for just 3 hours of fishing. Dave and Lyndon both enjoyed a bend in theire respective rods but were unable to get the fish to the bank.

I was once had 21 carp in uder 3 hours, although all smallish, between 3 and 9lbs. Then again I sat on the Thames every morning and every evening for 5 days in the so called 'summer' and caught 3 carp. Although I would have prefered any one of those to the 21 capr I caught from the lake.

I think it depends on the water in question and how much they're feeding. Funny old thing fishing.
