Thirty pound canal mirror proves ultimate reward for Daz

Large north west canal carp are few and far between, and those over thirty pound are rarer still, but after years of targeting just such a specimen, it all came right for North West Carp regular Daz Bate, aka ‘Blankmaster’ after he landed a 30lb 10oz mirror on a recent canal session.

Daz explained that he’d been targeting the fish for several years after seeing it fall twice to a friend in recent years, and after catching several twenty pound fish from the same stretch, Daz eventually struck it lucky on a short afternoon session.

After deciding to target a snaggy section of the canal, Daz presented a PVA bag of mixed pellets and a Frank Warwick Pineapple Fluro bait tight to the far bank at around twenty-five yards in approximately eighteen inches of water. On receiving a rapid dropback shortly afterwards, Daz tightened up only for the rod to bend straight into battle curve. After a hearty battle the fish was landed to give Daz the prize he had worked so hard for.

A fantastic achievement - a big well done from all at North West Carp!
