You need to be onto shoal to get high weights as 99lb 2oz showed on Sunday all Carp average weight of 4 to 5 lb, however the fish are switching on to feed and some good individual fish have been caught.
Even though the water temperature is very low the highest weight out Sunday Steve fed heavily Angel micro and 3mm feed pellets
