After breakfast Tim gave the instructors an information sheet of our pupil’s capabilities<br />
which tells us a little about their fishing so far. At 9.30am the pupils started to arrive and<br />
were teamed up with their relevant instructor.<br />
My pupil was Mark Pearce from Kidlington in Oxfordshire, he had only been carp fishing for<br />
one year. His questionnaire sheet said he wanted to gain as much information as possible<br />
and maybe catch a personal best; his PB was 18lb. We made our way round to our swims<br />
and spent the first 3 hours going over where to fish in Mark’s swim.<br />
This involved leading around finding the difference between clear areas, gravel and weed.<br />
Once we had found an area to fish to we then went through Mark’s tackle box to see what<br />
rigs he was currently using. We changed a couple of things to make his rig more effective<br />
however, I wanted every item in his rig to come from Mark’s own tackle box so when he<br />
went fishing again he didn’t have to go and buy anything. We settled on 4 inch 12lb mono<br />
hook link, size 6 hook with 2 14mm baits, a snowman rig, he then cast out his rods.<br />
Mark’s first catch PB 19lb 12
