UK Carp & Coarse Fishing

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.

0630 The alarm was off again, unfortunatley, this was my phone and the call to work again.

Till next time
