The weather is absolutely fantastic at the moment, may be not for fishing, but I am not going to complain.  The kid’s have been in the paddling pool after school every day this week, playing in the garden and that’s what Spring should be all about.  After a long Winter, it’s nice to be able to sit around in the garden.

Any way, I am out fishing again.  I am also hoping that the Carp like the sunshine, as it has been a few trips since a carp graced my net, it could get a bit embarrassing soon.

I had a good walk around and found some fish.  They were moving up and down this margin and along the tree line.

I have got one rod in the middle of this small bay, with a load of chopped boilies and ground-bait all mixed up with a load of hemp oil.

The other rod is off the end of the island.  This is a very popular patrol route, I lost a fish from here the other month.

I awoke first thing (around 6 ish) and was surprised not to have had any fish in the night.  There were a few fish showing out by the island, I was still feeling confident that I may pick up a fish – before work time.

The conditions had chanced for the better as well.  All was looking good and no sooner than I had thought this, the right hand rod was off.  It was attached to a very unhappy mid double common, these fish fight very hard due to the shallow water, it fantastic fun.

Till next time

Richard
