Temple Lake, part of the Old Bury Hill complex near Dorking, has been a great success for owner David De Vere and a welcome addition to the Surrey specimen carp scene.

An overnight session there reaped rich reward for Simon Jones, who banked a mirror that tipped the scales at 31lb.

Jones tempted the fish at 3am with a Royal Reds boilie, fished between the islands, in conjunction with a PVA bag of pellets and chopped freebies.

Carl Archer is keeping his favourite venue a secret after his latest visit gave him a superb 3lb perch.

The 22-year-old, an employee of Gardner Tackle, legered a roach livebait to fool the big stripey.

Kingston's Steve Bentley had blanked on his only previous visit to Whytevane Lake at Horsham.

But he gave the place a different try with another bait, writes Ray Robson.

Leaving the customary boilies at home, Steve legered luncheon meat from the Oak tree swim and his first run produced a 21lb mirror carp, more than doubling his previous best.

Two hours later, Steve had another take and this mirror pulled the scales at 23lb 8oz.
