GRANITE RESOLVE REWARDED!
A one-time regular on the carp match scene, these days Martin Dudley targets only the rarest carp the country has to offer on waters that aren’t only rock hard, they are granite!
It’s a style of angling that is not for the faint-hearted, with various obstacles to overcome and long blank streaks inevitable, but when it does all come good, there is no feeling like it, as any big-fish angler will attest.
The capture of this 38lb 10oz Cambridgeshire common was one such moment.
Looking in immaculate condition, this exceptional fish was the result of a significant amount of hard work that Martin has put into the venue this year.
Martin’s efforts were eventually rewarded when his Smoked-up Bug hookbait, fished in conjunction with a bag of Crayfish Mini Mix pellets, was picked up by the rarely caught common, having been presented over a bed of Bug chops and particles, all soaked in Hydro Wheat.
Undoubtedly one of the captures of the year so far.
