Solar Tackle boss Martin Locke catches 42 carp to 61lb 8oz in a manic two week session. Martin Locke has just returned from France having landed an incredible total of 1,484lb of carp in one trip. Fishing on Rainbow Lake, the venue where Martin landed a then world record carp of 94lb in 2010, the Kent-based rod landed 42 carp to 61lb 8oz in the space of two weeks. Peg 19 was the scene of the incredible haul, one Martin’s best to date, where the action kept on coming despite the scorching summer weather.

Martin Locke recalls a recent trip to Rainbow Lakes, that saw him land 42 carp up to a massive 61lb!The trip started with a bang when just twenty minutes after getting the rods out, one of them cranked over and I was into my first of the session, a 50lb mirror. It took me completely by surprise. I’ve never had a take so quickly from Rainbow in all the times that I’ve fished there. It was a nice reward having slogged it out in scorching weather for the previous few hours hauling boat batteries, buckets of bait, setting up bivvies and what have you; I can’t recall ever drinking more water in a day than on that Saturday as I struggled to stay hydrated in the heat.
