Robbie Briers, the 14-year-old angler sponsored by Redeye Baits, caught this personal best common carp of 25lb 5oz on a 24 hour session on the Lodge Lake of Blackpool’s Four Seasons Fishery on 28 December – the first fish out of the water during the month.

 

The great looking fish was caught using a 14mm Tuna and Robin Red wafter on an eight inch blowback rig. Chadderton, Lancashire-based Robbie was spotted by the Redeye Baits team after making regular appearances in carp magazines and continues to have many successes on hard, high pressured North West waters.
