Trip No12 Carp Fishing (2015)

Posted on April 5, 2015 by richardhandel1

My first trip out on the big pit, as it only opened last Sunday (clever plan to open up on mother’s day lol).

The weather is not quite what I expected after 14 degrees and sunshine the last 3 day’s. Admittedly, there was a frost one night, however we are getting cold North East winds.

Anyway, I have picked the most shelterd area, this would have also warmed up nicely over the last couple of day’s.

With the kettle on I sat back to forget about all about work things I need to sort before I am off.

I have a few liners in the night, but that was that and off to work we go.

Till next time

Trip No 11 Carp Fishing (2015)

Posted on March 30, 2015 by richardhandel

This will be my last on this lake as it closes for the traditional Close Season.

I will be back on the big lake next week. They have been doing a lot of work on over the Winter months. I can’t wait to have a look.

I have picked a swim away from the prevailing wind, as there is still a bit of a chill in the air. A very friendly syndicate member has helped me out with a few spots in the swim.

After a good lead around, I picked a couple of likely ones and flicked a couple of pop ups out with 2 bait stringers on and after dark, baited up with the throwing stick. I did not wish to use the spomb, as it would make too much disturbance near the sanctury area.

My first fish turned out to be a bream and after quick recast I was back in the sack. At around 0245, I had a slow take on the same rod and this was most definately a carp and after good battle, I had a nice 18lb 2oz common in the net.
