🎣 **Family Fishing Fiasco, Essex 🔥**

It’s always great to see a good friend of **Carp Social**, Daniel Remf, enjoying some quality time on the bank with his **dad, Kevin.**

The family enjoyed a fantastic session at **Toll Pits**, landing **5 carp**, including some cracking fish:

🐟 **24lb Mirror**
🐟 **24lb Common**
🐟 **23lb 12oz Mirror**

All five fish fell to a **15mm Yellow Mainline Essential Cell Pop-Up**, presented on a **Ronnie Rig**. 🎯

Quality fishing, quality fish, and most importantly, quality family time on the bank. 👊🎣

Well done Daniel — great session! 🤝

CATCH REPORT - LEON LAKE ⚖️

In modern-day carp angling, mystery was replaced by magazines, solace by social media, and commercial carping was diligently drip-fed to the masses like a cheap brolly with a leaky seam.

Yet, despite the endless stream of information, one thing still matters more than anything else: being on the bank and understanding watercraft.

We’re often asked by customers how a particular venue is fishing and, as booking agents, we believe it’s often best left to the bailiffs and lake owners, with their ears to the gravel and eyes on the birds. 🐦 👀

After all, they’re the ones watching the water, understanding the conditions and keeping track of 🗺️📍fish patrol routes, “Carp Crusades” — or “Moid Migrations”, if you will… 😉

From the latest catches and tactics to the little tips, tricks and forgotten details that might just get you a bite, nobody knows the venue better than those who spend their days around it. 👣

So, with that in mind, we’ll share the Leon Lake June to August 2026 catch report — giving you an insight into how the lake’s been fishing, what’s been reported, and perhaps subtly mention the 80lb commons that graced anglers nets in the spring. ⚖️🫨

But please preserve at least a little mystery and solace for the rest of us — preserve it like the old tin of Spam still lurking in your food bag. That kind of preserved.

Carp Social clients Adam, Jolene and their son enjoyed a fantastic family trip to Lac de Lumière.

Despite the challenging conditions experienced across much of France—with temperatures climbing into the high 30s and air pressure reaching 1028mb—they still managed to put together a brilliant catch.

A total of 11 fish were landed during the session, with Adam’s son claiming the family bragging rights over his dad after banking three impressive grass carp weighing 54lb 12oz, 54lb 4oz and 44lb.

Adam also enjoyed an excellent trip, landing mirrors to 51lb and 44lb, along with several smaller fish. Both anglers earned their exclusive Lac de Lumière 40lb+ tops, presented by the lake owners to anglers who catch carp over the 40lb mark.

Huge thanks to Adam for choosing Carp Social to arrange your trip. It’s great to see another family experiencing the adventure and creating lasting memories on the bank.

⚖️REVIEWS - OFF THE SCALE

“The people we met at the lake were really down to earth and was really accommodating full of lots of advice and knowledge of the lake. Couldn’t really knock the place at all mate, amenities were great, toilets and shower was spot on. Shops within 10 mins of the venue. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Fishing was tough but a welcome challenge. Weather conditions were not ideal but thats fishing. Would definitely go back for sure!”

🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ENGLAND CARP SOCIAL XI 2026 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🎣
We’ve spent decades analysing tactics, formations and set-pieces...

…and we haven’t won a saussage! 🌭😭

So maybe, just maybe, what England have been missing since 1966 is a squad built around the ultimate athletes… carp anglers! 👀🐟

Our England Carp Social XI is made up of footballers with a genuine passion for angling, from lake owners and carp specialists to legends who’ve spent as much time behind bite alarms as they have behind a football.

🧤 Seaman
🛡️ Terry
🛡️ Hibbert
🚀 Beckham
⚙️ Gascoigne
⚙️ Bullard
⚙️ O’Hara
⚙️ Bowyer
🎯 Rooney
🎯 Foden
🎯 Zamora

Just total tackle 😉 in defence and top strikers to put carp in the back of the net. 🥅

But, the real question is...

🎣 Which carp angler do you think should be this England team’s manager and WHY?

🏆 Ali Hamidi?
🏆 Danny Fairbrass?
🏆 Dave Levy?
🏆 Rob Hales?
🏆 Viv Shears?
🏆 Someone else?

Drop your choice below and tell us why. The best answer wins absolutely nothing except eternal respect from the Carp Social community. 😂👇

💚 REVIEWS OFF THE SCALE 💚

“Booking through Carp Social was easy. We went to Kingfisher Pools as a group of 4, two couples — my mate’s Mrs was pregnant so we were just after somewhere to chill out, and that’s exactly what we got.

Our hosts were spot on from the moment we arrived and gave us a lovely warm welcome. The anglers’ lodges were immaculate — genuinely top tier. Couldn’t fault the place.

Fishing-wise, it was mega. We caught 36 fish for the week, including 10 x 30lb carp — with a 37lb common, a 38lb 6oz mirror, and a grass carp just 1oz under the 50lb mark. Plenty of action throughout the trip and proper quality fish.

All in all, it turned into a proper family-style getaway for us and everyone loved it. Five stars from us!”

⚖️ OFF THE SCALE 💚

“It’s a solid 9/10 for Lac Alexander and Carp Social from me! Coops and I had a fantastic week, despite the weather being absolutely brutal. We definitely didn’t expect constant rain and temperatures dropping to 0 degrees, which made for some seriously tough fishing conditions. Even so, we managed to hook 16 fish, lost a few in the snags, and landed 10 including 6 x 30’s to 38lb 4oz and 4 x 40’s to 44lb 2oz. No suntan for us this trip, but we’re both leaving as very happy anglers. Highly recommended!”
