| FRIMLEY Mytchett angler Iain Stevens completed his seven year quest to catch all of the known fish in Pit 3 of the Frimley Complex in style by landing a new venue record specimen of 40lb 4oz.
The fish is just one of three commons that have regularly topped the 35lb mark in recent seasons and the other two, Charlie and Shoulders are tipped to make the 40lb mark before too long. The number of up and coming 30lb commons in the venue is thought to be now into double figures making it one of the top common carp venues in the country. Iain fished an unfavoured swim that had received little attention from anglers in recent months and tricked the fish with an NRG boilie fished at 60 metres range on a small gravel patch with four broken baits on a stringer and another couple of dozen baits scattered around the area. The bait was fished on a size 6 Raptor hook to a 25lb stiff rig and 15lb line. ANOTHER NEW 40! Following on from the recent capture of Amwell’s Jaffa over 40lb in weight for the very first time and then Frimley’s Charlie’s Mate making the magical weight for the very first time we are pleased to announce yet another new RMC Angling 40.
The fish, a common, represents the culmination of a long campaign on the water, Twyford, near reading, by Oxfordshire angler and ex-RMC Angling Head Bailiff Frank Waddom-Brown. Visit RMC’s web site at |
