Spooky Pool Ghost Carp Session – Hunting Two 50lb Ghosties in Cornwall!
Welcome back to another fishing adventure! This time, Parker Baits are in the heart of Cornwall at the incredible Spooky Pool — and wow… what a trip this has been. From the moment they drove through the daffodil fields and saw the lake for the first time, they were completely blown away.
Over a few rain-soaked but unforgettable days, they set out with one goal — to track down and hopefully tempt one of the two giant ghost carp that live here. Both over 50lb, both rarely caught, and both absolute stunners.
This video takes you through the entire trip:
First Impressions: Why Spooky Pool instantly stole our hearts.
Venue Walkthrough: Pads, margins, intimate corners, and why the setting is unlike anywhere else.
Tactics & Approach: Stalking with single rods, solid PVA bags, and using the venue’s house pellet alongside ParkerBaits OG Fish 10mm boilies, Magic Dust, and Hot Chilli Liquid.
The Big Moment: Hooking into and landing the incredible fully scaled ghosty in a dramatic battle through the lily pads.
Life on the Bank: Non-stop rain, early morning patrols, long spells of fish watching, and the constant anticipation of seeing a ghostie drift into view.
Food & Fun: From mega breakfasts to the best burger we’ve ever had (Broad Street Burgers), Cornish pasties, and lakeside sausage baps.
Venue Info: Otter fencing, facilities, on-site rules, and why this place is so well looked after.
