Old Lake Latest Catches week ending 19/8/18

Three anglers shared a memorable session around the back of the island, landing 30 carp between them up to 19 lb, including the distinctive ghostie at 14 lb 8 oz.
Stephen Spear, Andy Pitts and Tom Murphy, from Crawley, fished pegs 73, 74 and 75 for 48 hours, Stephen landing 14 doubles from peg 75, Tom 12 from peg 73 and Andy four from peg 74, along with tench.
Baits included 20 mm Sticky Baits The Krill or Manilla or Bloodworm, and they used PVA bags of crushed boilies to the far margin.
Another angler doing well is Kamil Maslach, who returned after last week’s 22 lb 10 oz mirror carp from peg 20 on Mainline Pineapple & Banana boilies to land a 28 lb 10 oz common this time, along with four other carp and a 4 lb tench.
