More big-water success for Korda ace.
Korda ace Ed Betteridge has reported more success from large Berkshire venue, Burghfield. He has been targetting the venue for the duration of the year, and explained:

“After a slow start in the spring, I knew I had to change my approach. So, through the summer months I started pre-baiting a few areas where I was seeing fish on a regular basis. Constantly feeding bait into these zones was sure to boost their confidence and encourage the carp to feed more freely on my ever-faithful Hybrid boilies. This decision has definitely made a big difference to the results I have achieved during my campaign so far.

My most recent captures include a long, lean 32lb 12oz half linear and a stunning mirror of 37lb. Both of the fish came from one of my long-range, pre-baited areas. Now it was simply a case of keeping the bait going in throughout the autumn, as long as I did so, the carp continued to feed. Dependent on the weather, I’ll carry on plugging away, right through the winter months, hopefully bagging a few more Burghfield beauties along the way.

From looking through my list of captures of this year, the 37lb mirror meant that I was getting closer to banking a full house of thirties, in every pound increment, from 30lb to 39lb. This is especially pleasing when both of the waters I have been fishing are low stock and catching a few fish a year is an achievement in itself.

Hopefully the latter parts of the autumn, going into the winter, are as kind to me as my year has been so far.”
