had a mega trip to sandhurst with the lads a couple weeks back, they had around 70 bites between the group in four nights. Jamie was lucky enough to have 7 bites himself including this mega mirror.

Crumbed up Royal Marine and EDGE pallets with our PineapHells over the top doing the damage. Great stuff mate, well dine indeed.

“I had no idea what was swimming in this lake. It felt magical, similar to a time when every bite was a surprise, pre smart phones and so many documented pictures. To see this giant in the net blew my mind. The width of its head is a vivid memory and my little, pink, HAULER pop up sat nailed in his bottom lip. The battle was a long, heavy, slow and ponderous job, you just know it’s a big un and then it slowly rose up through the waves and the old knees went like wet spaghetti. I’m not sure I’ll catch many of these in a lifetime. Long live the pursuit of moments like this. I’d been fishing over a spread of Heat and CreAmino with my usual rig, with a tungsten loaded semi stiff hook link and yet to be released braided mainline SINKPRO holding firm in some snaggy terrain”

A great carp to have in the album for Dan Williams. This lovely zip fell to a mix of CreAmino and Atlantic Heat and Royal Marine crumb mixed with a bit of particle and a PineapHell wafter over the top. Well done Dan, IT-works.

Alfie Russell with a couple of old, dinosaur carp from his recent exploits. This little adventure was captured on film over on Alfie’s YT channel but true to form it didn’t take him long to catch his targets from this little, intimate pool. CreAmino, pellets, corn and his own squid ho**ers over the top completed the traps. Lovely carp mate, well done indeed. IT-works.

That’s how we like um. Mist rolling off the lake, atmosphere off the charts and a mega common for louis . Atlantic Heat doing what it does best. Well done mate, great angling. IT-works.

Podcast Drop 🎙️

This month, I join Mark back on the bank to see if he can rectify — and ultimately avenge — the lost carp from last month. And, spoiler alert, we get a live take on the podcast… and this time, he actually lands it!

Mark has also been playing around with a new rig, which he’s keeping very close to his chest, but let’s just say it appears to be working a treat.

Alongside the live action, we chat about a recent family fishing session that came good, carp growth, and the fascinating hierarchy of stock ponds — particularly when it comes to those top-tier fish that seem to outgrow everything else in the lake. We also get into baiting patterns, and why sometimes doing things differently can give you a real edge.

As always, the wonderful Scandinavian God returns with this month’s Panther’s Sermon, and last but certainly not least, we have a proper treat of a guest joining us all the way from the USA — Joel

Joel moved to America in search of a new life, only to discover that he’d landed in a country full of untapped, uncaught carp. Of course, catching them comes with its own unique set of challenges. Having bears for company, for starters, is a rather different proposition to fishing a gravelled swim at Linear!

Thanks for the support as always. So, sit back, turn it up and enjoy another episode of The Carp Fishing Podcast.

Paul Weller enjoyed a rather crazy trip to Holland recently. Sometimes the stars align and you come away with some mega memories and carp in the album. Paul had one of those trips and caught some Dutch gold while on his travels with his other half. Heat and Haulers doing it in style! Well done mate. IT - works.

Jack Fairfax and the lads ventured down to a venue they’re very familiar with over the last few years, the cracking and as usual the lads had a carve up and caught some lovely ones. Here’s a couple of Jacks commons, caught using our Atlantic Heat and Royal Marine soaked in c-stim and hot fish oil then dusted off with the c-stim powder. Great work mate!

Keith Fender with another two mega ones from his big pit demolition job from earlier in the year. These two were high on Keith’s list, the mirror being a fish called the Black One at 38lb 4oz then the common is one known as the immaculate at 35lb but this one is a 50 year old OG of the lake. Two amazing carp indeed Keith. Atlantic Heat helping Keith have a tremendous season on the big pit. Well done mate, IT-works.

Lewis Simmonds was absolutely buzzing to have the big un for his Cotswold syndicate recently.

“The Freak” at 44lbs 2 oz was his reward and a new Pb to boot. We never get tired of stories like these, that’s why was make a quality carp food, so anglers can make memories just like this.

Lewis Caught her on an Atlantic Heat hard ho**er topped with some plastic corn over bed of 15mm Atlantic Heat and Royal Marine. Well done mate. IT-works.

Bait that always produces the best fish. One of a 3 fish hit.
