Lake sumbar croatia
Mirror
10 mm essential cell and cell freezer range
A trip ive been looking forward to for a while after experiencing it for the first time on the same date last year and having a good hit of fish including 6 50’s.
Lake sumbar.
After coming first i the draw i set on choosing a swim which id seen fish showing in on the walkaround.
After a quiet first night it wasnt long into the first full day when the bites started coming. The first two fish came within 10 minutes apart and set the tone for the week with the second fish being a brute of a mirror and also my biggest of the week at 66lb 8oz.
What unfolded after i could only dream of.
The action was non stop and i caught a number of carp every day.
I went on to land multiple fish throughout the week using a combination of 10mm cell and essential cell freezer range washed out and soaked in the garlic smart liquid along with the lake particle soaked in sweetcorn smart liquid and a generous amount of multi stim, all of which i have complete confidence in and is my take anywhere choice of bait.
I ended the week long session on 27 carp from 33 runs in some crazy weather starting the week with sunny weather and 14 degrees to high winds and heavy rain, then ending the week with minus temperatures and some heavy snow. Mainline baits kept me putting fish on the bank throughout 👌

1 x 20
