Daren ‘Tinpot’ Norman continued his fine run of recent form with one of his target fish, the one eyed carp aptly known as Nelson!
‘I got down for my first two nighter of my summer ticket after a few weeks away to find the lake looking lovely and fair bit weedier than it had been.
A lot of fish were evident in one of the corners so I fished nearby but after 24 hours in the swim I was becoming restless and wasn’t getting that feeling it was going to go. I had a good walk about and got a gut feeling to go up the other end as I thought some might be slipping up there after dark.
The move paid off when the following morning I had 2 takes. Unfortunately I lost a big fish in very thick marginal weed but when another chance occurred later on I managed to land a very special one after an epic hour and a half battle in the savage weed. Big thanks to my mate Ricci for all his help landing Nelson, one of the lakes A team and high on my list of desirables.
Obvious how Nelson got its name!
I fished a krill wafter over 2 kilos of krill boilies on my usual set up of 15lb Syncro xt, tubing and lead clip, Tungsten Loaded to a size 5 ready made chod finished the set up’.
