The last 2 days were fantastic, I got to meet a lot of Carp anglers and had a lot of fun doing so. I counted about ten 30lbs+ being caught though unfortunately no 40's though quite a few just under. many of the guys broke their PB's notably Radu doing so twice with a 39.6lb and a 39.7lb, also Chad with a superb 33.12lb, well done guys.
Saturdays fishing was quite patchy and only a few swims produced, leaving many blanking. I am sure nobody knew who was going to win, it was very tight between the Bates Bro's, the Wacker Bait team and the Reed Mills team. As it turned out it rested on a fish in the last 5 minutes going to Rod Mills with a 17lb Common. (see below)

Saturday 24th March 2007
I got down to Town Lake about midday and a few had caught though it was very patchy. This was a good day for me even though i did not fish as it gave me a chance to meet some of the people I had conversed with on the forums. I got to meet Wayne, Mark, Paul England, Paul P, David M, James and many more.
Ist street bridge was doing well for Paul P and Paul E last I heard having 7 fish between 13-30lbs
Mark had a 27lb, Radu beat his pb twice in one day, having a 37.6 and 39.7lb, well done on that.
Waynes team (the last I heard) were in the lead I think it was 14 fish for 180lb.
James from UK playing a carp.
James with the end result

The common carp. Over the years we've heard the best baits to use, the best times to fish and the best gear used for carp fishing. The fact is, carp are just like any other species in that sometimes the traditional baits do not work. Have you ever gone to the lake with all that gear already to go and fish for hours with nothing more than alittle nibble and here comes a local boy with his little rod and a handful of pieces of hotdog and within minutes is landing a carp. I've been there. Same goes for the gear. Some will bring that hefty "manly" rod and reel and witness the same boy fight the carp with a small rod. The point is carp fishing can be as diverse as any other type of fishing. What works today might not work tomorrow. Although I will not give up on the traditional baits such as my favorite the strawberry doughball, other methods will work too. The time of day can also surprise you. During the season changes, many will fish early morning and after dusk in the spring and change their time of day with the season. This has proven to be accurate over the years but you should not overlook other times that you don't see in books. I guess the moral to this story is JUST GO CARP FISHING! We all are busy in our everyday lives and the one day you have nothing to do and want to go carp fishing but feel they're probably not biting today or its too cold etc.. That may have been the best carp fishing day you ever had.
