In early October, we went to Carp Dream for the first time. We had seen the pictures on Facebook, but still didn’t really know what to expect.
Our midweek started unsettled with a lot of idle beeps at night, a few wasted bites in the puddle leaf and a failed bite detector. All in all, not the best start you hope for when fishing a pay water.
Nevertheless, we managed to get a few fish on the side, including a small mirror and a sturgeon of a whopping 19 kg. Halfway through the week, the friendly owner Leon (who came to surprise us with pastries) gave us some tips.
And with results. We managed to land several fish that afternoon and the following day. From an old stock fish, a 18.7 kg pangolin, we got excited, but the highlight was a 25.5 kg mirror carp! It soon became apparent that we had the new lake record to catch with this top fish!
That night we woke up to a rock hard run and also caught a beautiful 7 kg koi carp. Our week could not be better! Carp dream, a private water with a great accommodation where the dog can sniff and run around freely and of course with a beautiful fish!
We have already booked for next year.
So Carp Dream…
Until next year!
Yours sincerely,
Gerdo Teunissen
Van kinds af aan ben ik te vinden aan de waterkant. Vanaf een jaar of 12 heb ik het karpervissen geleerd. Wat het karpervissen voor mij leuk maakt is de ontspanning en de voorbereiding op de karpersessie in combinatie met een manier van vissen wat constant vernieuwing nodig heeft om de karper weer te kunnen verrassen!
