Got some Econcrete "leads". Im going to fish a lake where lead is banned. Read good things about these non toxic weights. They will absorb 7% of there weight of what ever liquid you put them in so you can have a smell trail for along as it's out. They won't sink into the silt like traditional lead, and sit on silt instead, what a good do. Made in Holland, mass produced so are cheaper to buy aswell. See what happens. If I get bites I might just start buying these.

A few Carp I have had from a private lake a couple of weeks ago. Had a really nice fully scaled mirror on the float and a really nice fully scaled Mirror and common on the bottom baits. And a few babys thrown in for good measure.

Had chance to get out on sunday for a few hours on the local water. Ive helped stock fish in on this water on a few occasions with the local club. I had this carp out at 17lb 10oz, it was stocked at 2 or 3 lb, it fought like a wild child haha, pristine fish too, to see them growing on so well. Have to spend some more time there.

What an awesome day. Had a mooch around the lake and had god knows how many little perch on . Went on the carp lake had my carp rod out and did some float fishing. Had so many Rudd and Perch and a solitary Roach. Hit a massive Perch which smashed me up in the lillypads and snagged me up got my whole float setup back then my Carp rod screamed off. 10 mins of absolute madness trying my hardest not to lose it in the pads like I did the Perch and I did and landed the biggest Carp I've had for ages I was that buzzing I forgot to weight it lol. Caught the Carp on a basic hair rig and 2oz lead and 10lb hooklink and had a smaller baby Carp too. Cant beat Darren McCann's of the spicy fish dumbells and pellets. Top day.
