BOB WARD

19lb 14oz Mirror Carp

This week Llyn Y Gors welcomed a whole host of specimen anglers to take part in the opening of the new specimen lake, The Karpium. Many of them braved the poor weather with winds swirling and rain lashing down. Yet runs were aplenty as the anglers has the enjoyment of great activity on their bite alarms. Bob Ward lost the first fish of the day unfortunately as the Carp swirled towards the net, however soon rectified this by landing a gorgeous 19lb 8oz Mirror Carp as he fished alongside his son Marc Ward.

Bob was fishing on Smartbait Llyn-Y-Gors L1 boilies which the lake ever since stocking has been fed with. Using Pva bags with crushed fishmeal pellet Bob produced this fantastic fish and was very happy in doing so. Bob along with his son Marc Ward has had a fantastic record on both of the other specimen lakes at Llyn Y Gors having always been successful on Thompson's Pool and The Old Carp Lake. This fish is a good omen for the pair who are sure to catch many more on this incredible new lake with a third of the fish being 20lb+ Carp!
