76lb – the new lake record mirror at Laroussi
Richard Ward & his 6 mates fished Laroussi on w/c 13th November & what a winter session they had, topped by this magnificent 76lb lake record mirror for Richard.
In total the group caught 6 carp (15lb common, 18lb common, 22lb mirror (perfect linear), 33lb mirror, 42lb mirror, 76lb mirror) & 3 sturgeon from 49lb to 60lb.
Over to Richard;
” We all went armed with the ever faithful Quest Rahja Spice, but on the advice of Shaun Harrison I also went with 10mm’s & that’s what I caught the big girl on. I’ve never really fished with 10mm’s before… but I will be from now on, so thank you Shaun! All my carp came on 10mm’s fished at around 140 yards over a very small bed of Medhi’s famous parti-mix and a mixture of 10 to 20mm Rahja’s. The weather was cold (down to minus 6 at night!) but the Rahja kept on producing.
Thank you to all at Angling Lines for having such a nice venue on your books and lastly thanks to the carp gods for allowing such a creature to grace my net”.
Hi Richard,
