Jam, Gold & Magic


Just needed one more carp to hit 200 this summer - any carp would do. To The Puddle and as always - park up and quick lap looking for the big ghostie. And there she was, crusing along a reed line.

Bit of crust launched into her path - and boom - cracking fight in the reeds & weeds - carp number 200 was the ghost I've been chasing all summer! That's the way to do it - magic or jammy b*stard?!

With 3½ hours left on the clock I continued my circuits of the pond (it was weird NOT looking for the ghost). But three more carp slipped up - including a fat common - double #25 of the summer.


Stunning ghostie at 14lb 9oz - it's been a long chase!


Common carp 9lb 0oz - followed by a smaller common.


And a fat 10lb 8oz common to wrap things up - double #25
