🎣 Two Quarry Carp Before Work! 🎣

A productive end to Lee's session on Quarry, with three bites and two carp landed before it was time to head off to work. 👏🐟

The first bite came at around 1:30am, producing a 20lb mirror.

At 5am, another chance unfortunately ended with a hook pull in a w**d bed — but Lee wasn't finished yet.

At around 10am, the third bite produced his best of the session at 24lb.

All three bites came fishing Tuna wafters over a small bed of bait.

As Lee put it:

“Lovely way to end before heading off to work 😊”

We can think of worse ways to start a working day! 😂🎣

Nice one Lee — thanks for the report.

🎣 A Few Blanks... Then a Bridge Pool Thirty! 🎣

Joe had spent plenty of time on the bank over the previous week, with a few blanks along the way.

But persistence eventually paid off on Bridge Pool with this cracking 30lb 2oz carp. 👏🐟

The fish fell to a Spinner Rig, using a DNA Bug bottom bait with a Half Tone topper.

And judging by Joe's reaction, the blanks have already been forgotten:

“Here she is — 30.2 😎 Can't stop now.” 🎣

🌊 Lake: Bridge Pool

⚖️ Weight: 30lb 2oz
🎯 Rig: Spinner Rig

Nice one Joe — persistence rewarded! 👏🎣

Dad topped the session with this cracking 22lb carp, while his son wasn't far behind with a lovely 18lb common.
