Current Luton AC mirror carp record holder Eric Jones returned to the South Lagoon where he caught last season’s 34lb 15oz specimen and had a 13-fish hit using his own Red Eric Baits, catching commons of 26lb 6oz, 21lb 12oz, 18lb 8oz, 17lb, 16lb, 15lb 12oz, 15lb, 13lb and 12lb with mirrors of 24lb 12oz, 23lb, 22lb 4oz and 19lb.

On the same venue, Paul Williams tempted commons of 25lb 3oz and 10lb 4oz plus nine bream to 6lb, Les Hillyard had a single-figure mirror and two bream to 6lb, Alan Wilkie an 18lb 8oz common, and Connor Fairbrass a 24lb common. This time of year is particularly productive on the South Lagoon as the fish return after spawning in the river.
