Today I have moved round to a large bay area, after having a bit of a rethink last night. There is a warm S/W wind blowing and this area being on the back of the N/W wind that was blowing, the fish could be hold up here.

Two rod’s as well today (makes a pleasant change), I have flicked one to the right of me along a nice tree lined margin.

And catapulted a couple of pouch full’s of chopped poloni boilies in the area. I like to spread my bait about a bit, get the fish moving around looking.
The other rod is going to be used as a roving rod, hopefully when I spot some fish. In the meantime, I have cast across the bay to the other margins.

After about an hour, I spotted my first carp and reeled in and put a small Godman Pva mesh bag on and flicked it into the area where the fish showed itself.
Unfortunately, this trip resulted in another blank but seeing a fish top was good news and hopefully a pointer to where to fish Sunday night.
Till next time
Richard

About richardhandel
I would like to give a brief snap shot of my life and introduce myself;
My name is Richard Handel and was born in 1965 in Suffolk. I have worked as a UK Operation & Intermodule Manager for a shipping company. I live in Hampshire now and am married with 2 young children, both girls so I am a bit outnumbered even the cat is a girl!
I have been fishing since I was about 7 years old. I started on small local rivers in Suffolk, then moved onto gravel pits and then carp fishing. My personal best is a 39.08 mirror, over recent years I have started river fishing again, on the Hampshire Avon, this is a nice break from the carp lakes.
My life has turned a big corner this year, the company I was working for relocated their Operation centre to Estonia. I was offered a job at the head office in London. This would have meant a 5 day commute and working in Stratford. As a family, we did not fancy this, as I would hardly spend any time with the children (and the Mrs). So after 22.5 years, I was given a nice redundancy package and with my wife is working full time. I became the house husband.
This has meant a complete turn around in my fishing, as I can pick and choose when I go. I have found a splendid new syndicate to fish this year, which includes 5 lakes and some 8 miles of river with only 150 members. It's an amazing change to the way I am able to fish.
I am now trying to start my own tackle business and make a bit of a name for myself in the world of fishing, as I have retired from real work.
