Trip No6 Carp Fishing (2014)

Posted on March 26, 2014 by richardhandel

It’s Sunday night and I am back out fishing. The weather has warmed up a lot, the temperature getting up to 20 degrees today! However, the ground and the water temperature are both 1o degrees, so no heavy baiting campaign yet. But I am sure others will be doing this though.

When I arrived I was amazed to see fish crusing on the top, warming themselves up no doubt.

Well this was the best end of the lake I felt.

The first thing I did was to flick out a Nashy Zig Bug in the area the fish were cruising.
I had a good lead around to the right and left in the margins.

My right hand rod was going to be placed under this tree, where I felt that there would be no Zig action. I baited the area up with some broken Infustion Bait Snatch boilies and Bait-Tech pellets and a small amount of ground bait loaded with liquid attracts.

The other rods where flicked up to the left margin by a set of lily pads, which were just under the water still. That also got the same treatment with the bait and all was set to get a brew on.

I had a funny take in the night, when I stuck into thin air and around 2am (joy)!

And too soon the alarm was going off and it was time for another day in the office.

Till next time

Trip No 5 Carp Fishing (2014)

Posted on March 20, 2014 by richardhandel

Lucky me out twice in a week! The weather is looking up and Spring has sprung. Unfortunately, due to the nice sunny weekend, the swim option were again abit low. The day angler’s were out in force, after a wounder around and a chat, I settled on a swim in the middle of the lake, it had plenty of options after the day boys go home!

One rod was flicked up the margin under an overhanging tree, with a couple of hand fulls of boilies over the top.

The other rod, I had put a Nashy Zig Bug 3ft off the bottom, I have still not had a take on a zig rig, however the principal behind it all, it’s got to be a winner. I just need to get it all together to produce a take.

With no joy in the night, it was off for another day on the office.

Till next time

Trip No 4 Carp Fishing (2014)

Posted on March 15, 2014 by richardhandel

I am out for a quick night, which is very lucky as I have been very busy at work over the past few weeks.

Unfortunately, there were two other carp angler’s on tonight and a couple of pleasure angler’s. They were all down the deeper end. I did not fancy fitting myself in-between them, the only option was to fish the reeds. I was not feeling that confident, even though the sun had been out for the past two days, this had also ment there had been a frost. After some time of pondering, I felt that there was no other option.

Rod one was cast on the tip of the reeds with a good helping of boilies and pellet.

Rod two was cast over an old set of lilly pads that hopefully were on their way. This area does produce carp in the Summer time, the carp use it as a patrol route down the lake from the reeds.

I always like to look after the wildlife with some pellets or broken boillies.

With the sun setting, I was all set up with the kettle on and it was time to phone the wife and kids to see how their day had been.

I was awoken by the reeds rod bleeping away and the tip bent around. I leapt out of my sleeping bag and hit into a tench (joy), but not what you needed 20 minutes before packing time! I don’t bother recasting, I just slowly packed up and was off down the track by 0630 and off for another day on the office.
