Specimen Carp Fishing-

Winters Lake is the hardest lake to fish at Manor Farm, however if you put the time in you should get some excellent results. Mark Jarvis landed a 28lb common on a foam pellet plus a  15lb common carp on a spicy boilies using a snowman rig. Spicy boilies are generally working very well at the moment with another 14lb 12oz common being caught on spicy tuna boilies. Matt Evans had a great session on Winters late in June landing 5 fish including a 26lb 7oz linear, a 32lb mirror and a 35lb 7oz mirror on spicy tuna and sweet chilli boilies topped with fake corn. The 30’s are all cruising in the warm weather but are proving to be a little more elusive.
