Quality not Quantity mate ;)

Anyway here she is... all 21lb 4ozs of her, chuffed to bits as that lake doesnt hold many 20's so felt very fortunate (especially as I was 3 nil down!!)

And here she goes.

Think you've already guessed that one Nick - it was on Vamp, mate - Very impressed with it - great smell, felt confident using it. Not a massive fish (16-5), but the biggest we saw taken that day. Cheers mate :D

just to let you know customer of mine came in yesterday and caught 12 carp on top lake at longleat biggest being 26-4 and several other 20s, last night I had the parrot out again at hunstrete at 28-10, all these fish were caught on vamp. We now got pop ups and balanced hook baits also glug and turbo paste coming.

Hi Sam,

Good fish & welcome to the site... Theres plenty of carp waters around this area mate, no doubt someone here could point you in the right direction, I loved fishing Longleat during the closed season (but does get busy!) and had some crackers from the top (and middle) lake.

Rob.
