Carl Sharp landed two twenties over the weekend from Cambridgeshire syndicate water Monk's Pit. With the water being very busy, and according to the Wolverhapton-based Solar team member fishing hard due to the pressure, Carl was made up with his two mirrors of 21lb 6oz and 27lb 10oz. Carl used a Seafood Take-Away Corker pop-up presented over a bed of hemp, corn and Seafood Take-Away freebies that he spombed at 80 yards to a small, hard, clear patch. A size 8 Stronghold 101 hook coupled with Solar Easy Strip hook link and setup multi-rig style made up the business end.

The new season at scarper carper’s Lac de Paix has arrived with a bang… or two! The company, which provides self-drive fishing holidays in France, has announced the capture of two huge carp, with both fish falling to the same angler. Michael Martin’s first fish was also a new lake record! ‘Starburst’ weighed in at an impressive 56lb, and was caught on Michael’s first trip to Lac de Paix. Taken on Lake Special baits, the carp has packed the weight on over the winter and is looking good on it. His second fish was another new lake record, a 45lb 3oz common! Once again, the fish was in immaculate condition.

Solar team member Dale Turner’s landed one of his two target fish, a mid 30lb common known as Split Tale, as part of a 4-fish haul from his Essex syndicate water. Using a small piece of black foam presented with a size 8 Solar Wide Gape hook, Dale enjoyed some of the best fishing he’s had for years, as the East Sussex-based angler explains: “I got to the lake at around 5. 30pm straight from work at the Solar Tackle factory. I’d fished an overnighter on the water the week previous and lost a good fish at the net, so I knew the area that I wanted to be in.
