Gigantica has been named fittingly, to represent the huge carp that swim within its depths. The lake has already exceeded our wildest expectations. When we took over the lake in 2008, it was badly managed, too many anglers, uncomfortable swims, poor facilities, rigs and baits dropped by boats, and the fish had nowhere to hide, coupled with poor quality bait being introduced. The transformation in the last few years has to be seen and experienced to be believed. Our long-term goal was to create a fishery with just giant carp, this dream is becoming more of a reality with every passing year. Gigantica is and will always be a serious carp water for the dedicated carp angler wishing to fish a ‘proper’ lake with plenty of room. Since our ownership of the venue we have even dropped the maximum number of anglers down from 26 to only 12. The reformation of this wonderful lake has seen fish experience huge growth rates, with several fish gaining as much as 15lbs between captures. With an estimated 600 carp present there are plenty to go at, however the quantity is still somewhat unknown, with previously unrecognised carp to over 50lbs still popping up every now and again. The Gigantica carp are no ordinary carp, the calibre of these fish is not to be mistaken as anything other than perfect. The lake has a very large head of big, plated mirrors of up to around 60lbs, something you rarely see abroad and a cause for excitement. These scaley carp are mothered by their larger, more leathery companions, the real old brutes of the venue with several having reached weights of over 80lbs, with the jewel in the crown The Immaculate Common now exceeding 90lb’s. The list of big fish is growing by the day, and in a short space of time it has established itself as the ultimate holiday venue in Europe. Comfortable fishing for huge, catchable carp, in stunning surroundings. Gigantica also offers great facilities, courtesy of the on-site bailiff team. The Gigantica food has formed quite a reputation for itself, becoming a phenomenon in the world of bankside feasts. Do you want more information about fishing the premier holiday venue in Europe?

🐋 CarpFix Social 2026 🐋

What a week, records smashed, PB’s broken,
Memories made!

Last week saw the annual CarpFix social and as usual the excitement on the group prior the trip is always high. The guys set themselves a group target of 60 fish with a 60lb fish thrown in. Well, they more than doubled their target with 140 fish in total and the biggest being “Shoulders” at 66lb 8oz, this also set a new Main Lake record with the old record being a total of 93 fish.

But it didn’t start off all singing and dancing with 3-4hr delays at the tunnel and blow outs on the A26 it felt like a cursed trip but the lads put it all behind them and smashed it out the park.

What will the target be next year? Can it ever be beaten? 👀🤷‍♂️

Well done lads, great effort 🐋

The CarpFix Social 🐋

⏳ With us being less than 24 hours from this years CarpFix Social we thought we would remind ourselves how they got on last year.

🥇 First up has the be the man himself, Darrel Peck who was in Bob's Beach and landed one of his long term targets, Fred at a new top weight of 66lb

💪 Bart was opposite in The Stink and first had Pearly Linear at 52lb 8oz then went on to land Alcatraz at 59lb

🚽 Down in Scottie's Corner we had Justin who had Wood's Common at 56lb 8oz earning himself a spot in the toilet

🍏 Oblivion was fish by Jon who got one of the original scalies under his belt with Apple Slices at 47lb 8oz

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Lastly our very own Ben Morgan ended the trip with The Bean on the last night at 51lb 8oz

With a total of 51 fish landed last year, can they beat that this year?

💪 Andy Reynolds back where he belongs! 🐋

Andy Reynolds a regular guest here at Gigantica, finds himself back in Big Southerly this week, and even though this swim hasn't been in good form of late, he has still managed to acquire himself some prime real estate on the A Team wall, with the capture of 'The Furious Common' at 63lb 8oz.

🎣 Andy's unique approach fishing short with the use of a catapult and the throwing stick, fishing match the hatch over the top, always serves him well on Gigantica

📸 Here are some of Andy's past and present captures from Big Southerly over the last year.

🌚 With it being the week of Buck Moon, are we going to see more big commons?

With the recent passing of Hanson, a new spot at the top opens up.

👑 Could Troy's Chunk, on the missing list now for over 2 years and last coming out at 65lb 12oz, take the spot?

🎩 All about the hat, has not been seen this year and with a top weight of 67lb could this be the next carp to pass the 70lb barrier?

🤔 Or could Ron's come back stronger and beat it's top weight of 70lb 10oz?

🐋 Who do you think will do it?

👑 The King is Back! 🐋

As many of you will be happy to hear, Tom has joined the team full time at Gigantica and was straight to it this week on the Road Lake.

Tom's drive, passion and dedication to helping others catch fish are just some of his qualities and he seems to winkle the odd one out too! 👀

We're delighted to have him on board and hope he will be part of the team for many years to come! 🐋

🐋 Hanson 🐋

😢 Unfortunately this week we had to say goodbye to Hanson on the Road Lake, a fish that had blessed many nets and granted a lot of guests a new PB.
As always here at Gigantica, we are totally transparent with what swims around in our waters and it is such a shame to lose such a carp.

🎣 Have you caught Hanson?

We are now 24 hours into the first week of the Main Lake re opening after it being shut for 3 weeks, to give the fish a rest post spawning, which will now be an annual thing. The last time we closed for a good period of time we welcomed the Korda UK employees on for their annual social and it was a great weeks fishing all round and here's just a few of what they caught.
Are we in for another great week? 👀
What fish would you like to see on the bank? 🐋

22/06/2026

So with the Main Lake closed to give the carp a rest after spawning, it’s giving us a chance to also get some work done around the lake, but more importantly letting these fantastic carp have a good rest and a healthy feed and they’re loving it! Ben’s been out there giving them a good hit of a top quality pellet we get from our friends at Aller Aqua 😎
