Sanderson Property Brokers who specialise in Fishing Lake sales are offering till the end of March the new CarpCAM VS350 for a great price of £255.00 with free UK delivery.



The underwater video camera, once positioned will allow you to watch your bait and baited area for carp and actually see the take.



The CarpCAM is designed to enable Anglers to view under water aquatic life using the latest in under water video technology delivering quality clear video images from under the water.

This new technology brings a host of exciting new benefits to Anglers.

• The CarpCAM will help Anglers see the bottom of Lakes
• Prevent snagging of fishing line.
• Improve your Angling Skills
• Watch fish and how they behave in there natural environment

I predict this will be a big hit and I would love to try it out, so if anyone at Sandersdon or CarpCAM is reading I would be happy to field test it on my next trip to Morocco.
Now that would be some promotional video - shoals of 30's and 40's going nuts over a 20kg bed of corn!!!
I am just packing up the gear now and leaving tomorrow morning for a 4 day session on Bin el Ouidane in Morocco. I should be at the water by sundown after the ferry crossing and a hard days driving. I have asked my local contact to stick in 100 kg of corn; 20kg of corn each night so my swim will be boiling by the time I wet a line.

So if you fancy some amazing underwater shots and a mind blowing promotional video for your underwater video camera get in contact.

30 thirties in 30 nights from the Ebro

Stephen Buss and friends took on the mighty Ebro for a 30 day stint and had a session not to be forgotten....




"still keen from last years efforts it looked like January was to be the only opportunity for my own carp fishing this year, so I took it. Thirty nights from 27th December camped quietly on the banks of the River Ebro in Spain, hidden dark to all bar boat. This time the weather conditions were more than against me but lady luck sat firm on my shoulder. The water level rarely consistent, the long misty days turned to cold clear nights with a freezing wind and the odd sunny spell from the warmth and glow of my BBQ was a welcome one at that.




During this time I saw just over 200 takes with 176 carp on the bank, not a bad effort considering and one step further in understanding the shoal movements here on the river, based on water levels and weather conditions but more importantly their feeding patterns. From the 176 fish on the bank 61 were pasties or fish less than 20lbs! 37 were 20lb+, 48 were 25lbs+, 22 were 30lb+, 6 were 35lb+ and 2 low 40’s all graced my net."

DAVID MILLER a superb wildlife artist

I stumbled across a beautiful painting of some feeding Carp the other day so I dug a little deeper and came across the website of David Miller.
A picture tells a 1000 words as they say and a painting might just do it a little bit better.

Have a look at some of these:

Born in Oldham, Lancashire in 1966, David Miller now lives and works in the heart of the West Wales countryside, in a wooded valley near the Taf and Towy estuaries with the dramatic Pembrokeshire coastline on his doorstep.





He paints mostly British wildlife, usually in oils, preferring to return again and again to subjects he knows well, travelling widely to gather reference and inspiration for his work.


David is perhaps best known for his underwater studies of game and coarse fish, inspired by a lifetime passion for angling and by many hours spent snorkeling and diving in rivers, lakes and gravel pits.



This knowledge and understanding of his subject is clearly reflected in his work and has led to him becoming perhaps the best known and well-regarded fish artist in the country. Internationally, his larger fish paintings now hang in London, Tokyo and New York boardrooms.

If you would like to find out more about this superb artist please visit his web site. David Miller

Or the World Record Common Carp? if so click here


If you read my last post you will know that The world record article I wrote got allot of readers. Whilst I was exploring all the different web sites that linked up to my story, as they published the news of the capture to their readers, I noticed a few errors, wrong weights and dates etc, so I just wanted to clarify the current record situation for Mirror and Common.

World Record Mirror Carp 38.4KG (84lb 8oz)

Gary Hagues - Fishing the Rainbow Lake in France landed a world record mirror carp of 87lb 2oz to beat the previous record by Pete Fitzsimmons (84lb 8 oz) which had stood for just three weeks.
This was a repeat capture for Gary as he had caught the fish the year before from the same swim at a weight of 83lb 8oz.
