Carl Sharp has landed four carp to 35lb 14oz during a mad, four-hour spell on the morning he was packing up from his weekend session on Monk's Pit in Cambridgeshire. A 22lb 4oz mirror and two stockies made up the rest of the haul. The Wolverhampton-based Solar team member presented 14mm Club Mix pop-ups over a bed of 2kg of Seafood Take-Away boilies and 3kg of Solar's Salty Sweet Particles at 80 yards to a hole in the thick kelp-like weed. Rigs comprised size 6 Stronghold 101 hooks and 10 inches of Solar Easy-Strip coated hook link set up multi-rig style.

Droitwich Angling Centre (DAC) is taking part in the upcoming Carp-In-4-Cancer charity fishing competition where, every year for the last seven years, a group of anglers raises money for the non-government-funded hospices that the Carp-In-4-Cancer charity supports. This year the event is taking place this weekend, starting Friday, June 13th. So far Carp-In-4-Cancer has raised a total of over £45,000.

In his debut blog for the Total Carp website, HARVEY CHAMBERLAIN details a hugely successful trip to France, where he catches a heap of whacking great carp.

Bait
Munch Baits Freeze Dried Bloodworm
Total Carp Staff  |  Jun 05, 2014  |  0 comments
Bloodworm has been considered one of the most important and easily consumable of all natural baits for a long while – there isn’t a carp in the land that doesn’t recognise it as a highly nutritional food source. When carp are preoccupied on the naturals present in the lake it can often be hard to get their attention with artificial and human-made baits, so what’s better than giving them what they want? The only difference is that you control how much you give them. So, if you’re looking for a little edge this season then give this a go. It especially comes into its own either when using PVA sticks or bags, but remember it is buoyant so should always be mixed with other ingredients.

Colin Gray's On A Roll
Total Carp Staff  |  Jun 03, 2014  |  0 comments
Solar team ember Colin Gray seemingly can't put a foot wrong on his current target water Darenth Big Lake. Squeezing overnight sessions in between a hectic work schedule, Colin has caught on each of his past three consecutive sessions, with the biggest carp being a 35lb 8oz common landed on a Solar Pineapple and N-Butyric Acid pop-up presented over a bed of Club Mix boilies. The second fish, a 20lb-plus common and his third, a lovely mirror of 31lb 8oz, also fell to the same tactics. Colin hopes his form will continue through his upcoming BCAC semi finals and the Eric's Angling Carp Championship semi-finals, both of which he will be competing in over the coming weeks.

Terminal Tackle
Fox Black Label Slik Bobbins
Total Carp Staff  |  Jun 02, 2014  |  0 comments
TC reader Sam Rafferty from London says: "I wasn’t sure I liked these when they first arrived, although I was grateful for being sent something to review that was made by such a top company as Fox. "The Slik clip is very different from those I’ve been used to, so I wasn’t convinced they’d be for me. However, once I started using them I found them extremely easy to get on with and have had nothing but good to say about them since. "The colour (more akin to a Korda green) wouldn’t be my first choice because I have all-blue LEDs on my alarms, but that’s not such a big deal, or is it? I note from Fox’s website that you can get blue versions, so I might have to sell this set to my mate and buy some of those instead!"There’s plenty of room in the head for an isotope, although I find those far too expensive so don’t bother with one, and I really like the short ball-chain style.
