I am out fishing with my youngest again,  which is nice, as she is asking if she can go fishing.  I may have to see if I can get her sponsored!

We are back in the same swim as before as the wind is push hard from the S/W.  We did have in mind another swim, unfortunately, they where all occupied.  I don’t feel it’s right to set up near other angler’s, as you reduce your and their chances of catching fish.  Plus she is a bit loud.  I have cast in the same spots as before and spomd out a mix of Bait-Tech pellet and ground bait mix with the sizzling Sauagse attracted, also with 10 handfuls of poloni boilies.  One rod was fished with a bottom and the other with a pop up,  both had large bags full of micro pellet soaked in Ktill and Tuna oil.

By this time,  it was tea time.  We heard nothing all evening, so we both just watched the lake and talked the world to rights!

At around midnight, the left hand rod was off, it was attached to a very unhappy 18 lb 14 oz Common that took several attempts to get in the net.  I looked in on my daughter half way through this and she was fast asleep! I did not take any photos as I did not fancy waking her up, I just re-baited and snook back into bed.
We were woke up around 0630 with another take,  I ran out only to find a swan had picked me up under my top tips.  Oh well, I recast to be rewarded by another take about an hour later.  This time, it was not a swan,  but a small common of around 12 lb. That will do.

With the wind picking up I was hopeful of getting another fish.  My daughter settled down to a bit more Roach fishing and by 11 am, it was time to start the big pack up and with no other carp, we were gone by 1230.

Till next time
