nice carp mate, just wondering, how did you use porridge, as groundbait?
this is one of my catches, a 7lb 2oz common, not massive but worth it on a scorching day on the canal

nice fish too even thw smaller fish put up a fight


this is what i use for carp fishing in lakes

you buy cheap bags of porridge and cheap tins of sweetcorn for a hot day i buy four of each,what i do is open one tin of sweetcorn and one packet of porridge oats pour contents in to a bucket/tub add some water not much though add small amounts till it goes doughy not over sticky then thats the bait ready to use on to a cage, compress small amounts of the bait ontoi the cage into a ball and stick the hook into the ball of porridge and cast away

The lake near me has actually outlawed the releaseing of carp, its just gotten so bad, i think the record around here is a 30 pounder that someone hit with a bow. Nice pic.
