Dream French Carp Fishing Session on CompleX-T
French carp fishing trips don’t get much better than the one Jim Smith enjoyed after he banked a staggering five 50’s and four forties.
The Lincoln based angler visited the renowned Comptons Lakes in the Limousin, France, where he recorded the memorable catch using CompleX-T baits. Jim broke his PB no less than five times during the trip including the capture of a lake record carp known as Jupiter at an impressive 56lb 11oz! The arm-arching haul saw 16 fish being banked to a total weight of 651lb 2oz, averaging over 40lb per fish.
Jims biggest fish – 56lb 11oz Jupiter and a new lake record!
Instead of settling down in one swim for his week long trip, Jim decided to move swims on several occasions. Using a bait boat, Jim fed 10mm pellets, Frenzied Maize and loose CompleX-T boilies in different areas and fished either a single 20mm CompleX-T Hardened Hookbait over the top or a 15mm version tipped with a piece of maize.
His main rig he used was a standard hair rig on a size 4 long shank barbless hook, while a couple of fish came out on a blow back rig, again on a size 4 long shank barbless hook.
