Photos & Records
Current match record - 163lbs 8oz, Craig O'Brien . (above, right) Caught on a peg on the right hand bank during Summer of 2006, Craig smashed the previous record after finding big carp fishing the method.
Silvers only match record - 120lbs, Darren Cox.
Biggest Carp - The end of June 2005 saw Barstons 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.
Thirteen year old Scott Travis from Cubbington, near Leamington in Warwickshire took what is thought to be Barstons biggest ever bream when he landed a superb 10lb 8oz specimen.
