After the disappointment of hooking and losing a decent barbel on the last cast of the day at Fittleworth Jamie Carter fished the next day on the Coates Castle stretch of the Rother where he caught this lovely mirror carp, on meat, with his first cast.  Jamie had forgotten his scales but estimates it was comfortably over 12lb+.

Although he’s only been a member for 2 seasons Jamie says he has really enjoyed fishing the Rother and having caught his PB chub, bream, eel and river carp from there he now  just needs one of those specimen barbel.
