With another day free, I was off to the lake for a few hours. The weather conditions weren’t brilliant, plus it was Friday and the weekend boys would be about. I planned to keep away from those swims and try something different. When I was here the other day, the carp arrived from around the corner, so this time I’ve positioned myself around that corner. Admittedly, the closest I can get is about 4 rod lengths away as there’s a bed of lily pads in between. However, they were moving up from this end and not the other one. They appear to like the wind, which is a shame as it’s still from the north and very much in my face. Ian is due down with his new bait boat at some point. He has a couple of options on either side of me or along the field bank, plus there’s still a swim available at the far end.
I’ve put two rods by the corner. However, I fancied trying single hook baits as everyone puts in bait, especially there. I’m sure it’s a popular spot. I believe the carp will visit there regularly and with any luck a single hookbait may just tempt them today.
The third rod is along the left-hand margins just off the lily pads, with three large pouchfuls of micro pellets with just my hook bait.
It’s just 1500 hrs, the day warmed up, but the carp didn’t come out to play. Despite spotting a few close to my baits, they were just not that interested. I really did feel that something would be about today. Oh well.
Until next time,
Richard
