Who will catch these?

77 more carps in 2011


In 2011, 13 more carps have been added.
For those people how want a reasonable chance of catching something, a total of 77 French carps have been added in january 2012. We ordered mirror carp with Hongarian blood fom 1 tot 5 kilo. With these additional carps we created an interesting mix of grass-, scale- and mirror carps. Beside of carps you may also catch tench by surprise.

Fishing story


We arrived at sunday with reasonable weather. We started directly our feeding campagne and started setting op our gear. We made a slow start, but as soon we managed to lure the carps to our spot, it changed into hard work. I cought some nice fish. The most heavy one, was a scale of 25 pound.
In total I had one mirror and eight scale and some lost. Jan, you are a super host of the Carp Pit. I received a newspaper every day and at the last day a piece of delicious fried fish. Jan, I had a top week and we had a lot of laughter.
Not to mention the sandwich with meat ball [ha ha]. Again, many thanks for the cozy week. I will recommend carp fisher I know, to book a weekend or week to try carp fishing at the Carp Pit of Ammerstol.

Greetings Hans
