Got this beauty today, 17 years ago... (2009) At my favourite big wild lake back then. Never been caught before.
Weighed in at 14.2 or 14.4 kgs. 20meters from the bankside in hip deep water. I walked in and placed my bait-presenration as I could clearly see where the fish was feeding in the shallows.
Man, if this fish is still alive I would love to see how it looks now!

For the serious South African Carp angler, only 5 spots left on this incredible lake. Contact Ruan Erasmus!

I personally love a Fat-bellied carp more than a Long carp. They present great on photos as well.

THE WORLD CARP CLASSIC 2026 IS COMING…

And this year, we’ll be watching very closely.

The World Carp Classic heads to Lake Orellana, Spain from 19–24 October, with up to 210 teams taking on one of Europe’s most famous carp waters. (World Carp Classic)

Over the last five WCCs, the winning trio has produced:

🏆 2021 – Germany: 78.4 kg
🏆 2022 – England: 62.3 kg
🏆 2023 – Czech Republic: 73.6 kg
🏆 2024 – Czech Republic: 69.5 kg
🏆 2025 – Netherlands: 65.3 kg

Those totals are based on the three biggest carp caught by each team. (World Carp Classic)

And the big fish?

🎣 30.4 kg – 2021
🎣 25.9 kg – 2022
🎣 28.2 kg – 2023
🎣 30.3 kg – 2024
🎣 30.0 kg – 2025

The current WCC event record stands at 30.4 kg. (World Carp Classic)

But now everything changes.

A new lake. A new country. A huge field of international teams. And nobody knows exactly what Orellana is going to produce.

🇿🇦 We’ll be rooting for Team South Africa all the way.

So let’s hear it…

Who do you think will lift the trophy this year?

And more importantly…

How big do you think the biggest carp of WCC 2026 will be?

30 kg? 35 kg? Maybe even bigger?

Drop your prediction below. 🇿🇦🔥

It is in our blood - A short read about African Wild Carp!

You know the angler.

He doesn’t just go carp fishing.

He travels for it.

He crosses borders. Drives for hours. Leaves everything familiar behind because somewhere out there is a lake holding the fish he’s been dreaming about.

He doesn’t need a luxury hotel.

Give him a tent beside the water.

A bedchair under the stars.

A few rods lined up and the possibility of something special swimming away in the darkness.

He understands that the best part of carp fishing isn’t always the fish.

It’s the journey.

The dirt roads.

The remote waters.

The wildlife moving through camp.

The fire at night.

The silence before sunrise.

The first coffee of the morning while watching the water.

And then, suddenly, a screaming alarm.

A slow run.

A tightening line.

And everything changes.

He knows that feeling.

He knows why people travel thousands of kilometres for one bite.

Because in wild African waters, you never quite know what is going to happen next.

Every lake is different.

Every session tells a different story.

Some trips produce numbers.

Some produce one unforgettable fish.

And sometimes, after days of waiting, the fish you’ve travelled halfway around the world for finally slips into the net.

That is what a South African carp fishing safari is about.

Not just catching carp.

It’s about experiencing South Africa from beside the water.

Remote lakes.

Wild fish.

Wild places.

Long nights.

Big carp.

Good food.

Good company.

And stories that stay with you long after the rods have been packed away.

You don’t come to Africa simply to go fishing.

You come to experience something different.

Something wild.

Something you’ll still be talking about years from now.

This is South African carp fishing.

This is the adventure.

This is the safari.
