Well went to rackley hills yesterday ( my local club lake ) had about 6-8lb of small fry on maggot set out a carp rod with some octopuss n squid boillies.

After a few hours not a touch so changed to a whelk and with in 10 mins the old alarm buzzed a slow strong take after 20 mins of in out in out and my dad doing the netting got my first ever catfish went 39 and a half pound.

Sorry about pics bit bright was taken on a phone so dont know what went wrong.

also whats a whelk?

 

[EvilD]

a whelk is like a large sea snail they are nice to eat with a bit of vinegar but are great as a bait the same with cockles mussels and prawns

EvilD, those pictures must have taken HOURS to download on here, the BYTESIZE is WAY over the top.

Read the instructions on putting pictures up and edit your pictures mate ......before the MOD's get you.[]

Nice P.B Catfish by the way,[].... urgh, I think they are ugly.

Unfortunately though Rob it still takes a hell of a time to load for those who only have a dial up connection.[] also should you edit those photos in the future the link will be lost meaning that they won't be viewable at a later date.[]

Lovely fish though, shame you couldn't have got some better quality pictures.
