Double PB.

Post by CraigM »

Not record breakers or giants by today's standards, but pleased to report that I caught two carp on simple, under the rod tip, floating crust [with a dip in Marmite as an added attraction] last Wednesday evening.

The first was 18lbs 14oz & the second a tantalisingly "3oz short" 19lbs 13oz.

Well done, Sir !

Photos await development. Ihope they come out.

I always take a Boots disposable camera when fishing on the basis that if it falls in I've not lost much - except any pictures!

Double delight!
According to statistics 1 in 3 don't like Marmite, so try the bread without for a 20 pounder!
