Biggest Carp - The end of June 2005 saw
Barston's first 30lb carp coming to the net - a mirror which weighed in at 30lb 6oz. Last out in October 2004
when it weighed 29lbs 6oz, it was taken from open water on a large pellet fished
over a big bed of 4mm pellets. Now rumoured to be over 33lbs we are awaiting
a photo for inclusion on the website.
Biggest Carp in a match - 22 lb 9oz, caught by
Lee Taylor on a pole from peg 25 while fishing a pellet over a bed of pellets.
