Wraysbury No1
Me, and my mates found it quite easy to locate the residents of this 120 acre lake. I got so close to two in the margins I reckon I could of got a thirty common in a head lock if I dived in. I even had a run off of one of them. I’m not sure which, but my hook length cut on something sharp pretty instant. Leaving a large bow wave on the surface. I believe un-experience, and inferior tackle for the job was my downfall at the time. I finally returned just over eight years later. Below is a piece I wrote in my carp diary at the time, which may explain the rig above a little more. I used a similar rig, but the hook was slightly popped up a little from the bottom, instead of putty making it rest from the eye. Thirty three nights, mainly in late 2000 on Wraysbury: snapped one rod trying to reel in a dead tree got a hook in my face deflated the bottom of a brand-new £150 dinghy, giving it the appearance of a floating kids paddling-pool passed out for unknown reasons got attacked by a giant ants nest, too many disasters to list. Yeah, I had some serious fun on Wraysbury. Including playing a carp in December with water nearly up to my nipples to find out I had foul hooked a 30+ common about two inches under the bottom lip. The worst way of losing a carp, or any capture. I wished now I never see the fish, and it had just came off, and I would of thought it just spat me. Then I would of rather it never even came anywhere near my bait, better than having to tell my mates I'd lost one again. One, I this time netted…..F**k! F**k! F**k! I believe glugging my hook-bait was my downfall. I only ever wanted to catch one of the original 12 or 13 Wraysbury carp, that was still present in the lake at the time. I didn’t care which one, though if I had to choose it wouldn’t of been Mary, but Mary’s Mate. I’ve seen photos of this fish that make it look like a wild old warrior I believe she’s still in there. Maybe I get the chance to catch her another winter. Alan Taylor with Mary's Mate
