Trip 17 Carp Fishing- 2019

With a few hours to spare today and I’m still not feeling 100%. I’m out day fishing again. I’m aiming for my first night trip in over 3 week’s this coming weekend! The Airfield Lake will be open and I just have to be there.

Today, I’m on my Estate Lake after a walk around with the eldest daughter yesterday afternoon. I felt pretty inspired. The swim selection was pretty straight forward as I plan to fish a couple of different areas each time I come, this is to get a better understanding of the lake over time.

I’m just flicking a couple of baits across to the far margins. after first walking around to put some pellets and broken boilies out. I’m using a mixture of catalyst & Smokey Jack boilies and the same for the pellet. The rods have a Miracle Berry Wafters with a washed out and the other a Evo maggot cluster . These have been soaking in the catalyst boost spray for quite some time.

With conditions pretty perfect and some sunshine to warm up the lake, I am very confident.

With less than an hour to go, it wasn’t looking hopeful, I had managed to spot the same 4 carp as I had the other week. These I understand are the latest stocking which happened about a month back and they certainly prefer the warmer end of the lake. I may just head back that end again next time (or stick to the plan of investigating other options), or see if there are other carp up that end.
