I had a urge one day to get out on the bank before work one day with limited time only I rushed down to the Suffolk water park and manage to bag my self a spot on the traditional lake. Setting up i knew exactly where I wanted to fish an one of the bailiffs recommended me the exact same spot! So I got down there baited up a bit just before casting one out just to right on me under a set of snags!
caught on a magic bean by @parkerbaits
“Silksworth lakes oldest carp known as The Dint. This fish was the one every angler who fished the local wanted to catch because of its uniqueness, looks… After a while of fishing the lake I decided to go with an approach I will stay with and use at all times so there’s no messing around with different tactics. Simply just blowback rigs and the number 1 Sticky Baits Krill Range! Time passed by and before I knew it I found myself netting him and calling my mother to come and take photos 📱📞 What an absolute cracker of a common this was and at well over 20LB this fish rlly was a park lake brute 🔥🔥Its History goes further than my own life as this carp was estimated to of been 40+ years old of age which makes it a special carp.Its info has been passed down for years and apparently it came from a duck feeding pond in a park and was caught then taken to silksworth…Sadly this fish left us this year and was found dead by one of my good friends Layton.Everyone recognised this fish by the dint in its nose and the big gash scar on its sideRIP DINT, u will be missed 🎣 “
WHAT A FEELING AFTER 2 YEARS I FINALLY BEAT MY PB
This one weight 25.4lb 🥵 a friend of mine was throwing abojt a lure when he noticed a carp following his little jig head. He came running over to me telling me to take a rod out of the water because he’s just seen a few close in the margins, my rods stayed still basicslly all night at this point and chances like that are there to be taken . So I slowly lowered in my snipped down manilla boillie, on the hinge choddy Of course and after patiently waiting. my reel tore off and after a few minutes he finally slipped over the net 😍😍😍
it’s no biggen to some people but this one means so much to me just because of the constant chasing of wanting to break my PB I finally got over it👌🏼🔥
