An Oakview Lake Classic

This trip to Oakview was a classic. Had a great time with family and my catch included two new personal best carp. The weather went from extremely hot to cool and then to warm sunny days with the odd thunderstorm.

Fishing Tactics: Fished both sides of the lake from the home swim and both sides produced results. One surprise was that most of the bigger carp came from the right, where the water is quite shallow and very warm after the drought this year. I found out early on that a boilie-only approach to baiting produced the best results.

18 carp caught: 3 x 40s, 5 x 30s and 10 x 20s.
