Nick Dudaniec here with his partner Sarah from Manchester. Nick has been visiting Anglers Paradise for many years, even before Kracking Carp was built. He fished our Kracking Carp lake and managed to catch a stunning 52lb Mirror Carp. Here is Nick’s story:-
“We chose to spend our week at Anglers Paradise fishing the Kracking Karp lake, where the largest carp on the complex are resident. I setup in swim 2, and on Tuesday morning had a screaming take from the right hand rod. After a long fight (and some luck) the large mirror known as ‘Silverback’ slid into the landing net. The fish weighed in at 52lbs exactly – a new PB and my first ever UK 50. I managed to land two other fish during the week: a 26,8 common and a 30,0 leather carp. Needless to say I am delighted with this result! Essential Baits Shellfish B5 boilies fished over hemp and sweet corn produced the runs”.
Well done to newest 5C’s Member Dean Garland who caught a 23lb 6oz Common from Nirvana’s day ticket Xanadu Lake.
Dean shared –
“After being rained off from work on wednesday, I turned up at anglers paradise knowing I’d be fishing 1 of the day ticket lakes but not sure which 1.
After speaking to Richard in the shop, I decided to go down to xanadu. I had un-finished buisness with this lake…I have caught some stunning carp from there previously but the 20 pluses had always evaded me!
After a quiet first day and night and the possibilty of going home blanking i decided to change a few things up. Within 30 minuites my rod went off.
It fought very hard and i knew i was in to a decent fish. And when i pulled it out i saw why, it was like the fish hadn’t grew into its own fins.
It weighed in at 23.6 lbs and seriously was in prestine condition. Gorgeous fish. Safe to say it made my session!!”
