Big French Carp Making An Appearance - May 2009

Lake record falls at Genets – 51lb mirror

A new lake record & pb for Nottingham carp angler Neil Bexon graced the banks of Les Genêts, France, at 05.30am on Thursday 21st May.


A 70 yard cast to the far margin produced the 51lb mirror which didn’t give up easily giving Neil a very spirited tussle of 25 minutes.  Neil had been feeding CC Moore Odyssey XXX boilie over betaine pellet, fishing a single 18mm bait on a 10" Korda Hybrid soft hooklink to a size 6 Korda kurv shank B hook.
