Brian Gay holds a pristine 16 lb 8 oz Durleigh common carp

This 16-8-0 common carp is typical of the quality fish in Durleigh reservoir and has the typical large mouth and long barbules. it fell to a snowman bait featuring a 20 mm Nash Monster Squid Purple bottom bait and a 10 mm NPS pop-up at 80 yards over spombed NPS 15 ad 20 mm bottom baits doused with NPS Arouser. The take was on the left hand rod within an hour. © 2014 Brian Gay http://www.v2v-visuals.co.uk © 2014 Shawn Kittridge www.v2v-visuals .co.uk
