Backyard fun at Leeuwkop

Sometimes the best sessions happen right in your own backyard. I decided to take a break with my wife and daughter and head down to Leeuwkop Prison Dam for a quick magical session. From 12pm until 5pm we were on the water, and even in that short window the results were nothing short of incredible.
The weather was blazing hot, but the water temperature was icy. Despite the contrast, the fish were on the bite. By the time we packed up, we had landed a total of 19 carp and 1 barbel — with 6 of those carp caught by my daughter.
Watching her excitement as she battled each fish was the real highlight of the day.
I mixed up two winning combinations for the session:
Combination 1
White Warrior Small Bleeding Floaties + Foxtrot Small Bleeding Floaties.
GTA Chooby on both hooks.
Gritty Granadilla HEP and Weerlig Spray on the bol.
Combination 2
RPA Small BleedingFloaties + Twinkies Small Bleeding Floaties.
Bluegum Chooby with C.S HEP.
Tacky TCP SloLeak on the bol.
For feed, we used Magic Baits Popcorn feed boosted with C.S Liquid Carp Food Feed Booster, and the fish couldn’t resist.
A perfect afternoon out with family, fresh air, bent rods, and plenty of magic in every cast.
