⚡ HARV-EST TIME ON THE BUG! 🐛
📌 Johnson's Lake, Surrey
Thunder, lightning, four double takes and 20 carp on the bank – it’s fair to say Harv Smith had a quiet weekend at Johnson's Lake! 😂🔥
Harv arrived just before the storm hit and had barely managed to get the bivvy up before the heavens opened. Once the thunder and lightning had rolled through, it was time to get down to business.
Fishing at around 70 yards, Harv started the session with 10 Spombs of bait, and within a couple of hours the left-hander absolutely melted off. After a lengthy battle, a stunning 30lb mirror slipped over the net cord – and that proved to be just the start of the carnage! 💥
The bites came thick and fast, including an incredible FOUR double takes! One hectic 15-minute spell produced a pair of mid-twenties, before the pick of the session arrived in the shape of a magnificent 32lb 12oz common.
By the time the dust had settled – and after very little sleep – Harv had amassed a phenomenal 20-carp haul comprising two thirties, three 28-pounders, two 27-pounders, three mid-twenties, two low-twenties and eight doubles.
Right at the heart of the action were Bug mini dumbbells, once again doing exactly what Harv has come to expect from them. 🐛🎯
