This week saw me join my mate Jeff Heath on his syndicate water. Jeff's been hauling on these lakes all season and has an impressive consistency in catching so when he invited me i knew i'd be in good hands. The swim he choose for me was away from the main areas around the back of the lake. Littered with islands and covered with lilies it very much reminded me of a cross between St Ives and Manicure lake. I have to say i didn't find it too difficult in finding spots to cast my baits as the layout of the lake with all it's features pretty much decided it for me. Carp on lakes like these tend to travel around in a certain way and a certain course. Spots which look great will produce the odd fish but others will produce far more and this as i say is because of the topography of the lake. These spots see far more fish passing through them and having fished many lakes like this before it did not surprise me that they were the spots that produced while others did not. I ended the twenty-four hour session with four carp up to 22lb+ so i reckon i held my end up. Successful rig was my multi rig popup and my semi-fixed-running-rig lead system using a two ounce flat lead, bait was my 'K-LO' which i am currently field testing.
