Wingham Fishery, Canterbury, Kent
Hot on the heels of a 50lb 11oz Common, Wingham Carp Lake in Kent has now produced a 54lb 12 Mirror. The captor of the new syndicate record was 43 year old structural designer Rob Burrage from Sevenoaks. Rob used a Specialised Hookbaits S2 pop up over a kilo of Shoreline Baits GLM Sausage Oil boilies. The successful rig was a G-Force size 6 straight point hook on a G-Force Blackout hook link.
The monster mirror came just 25 yards out in 8 feet of water on the morning of an overnighter.
A delighted Rob commented, “There’s no place like Wingham for peace and tranquility plus the
chance of catching something special. But if I’d realised just how special the fish was I wouldn’t
have played it quite so hard to keep it out of the weed!”.
