Went to the club water for 24hours in search of a chunk or two, fair few people on the lake even being mid week. Wanted to go in a certain swim after looking around and seeing a few fish but someone was already in it. Settled for a swim that allowed me to cover a expanse of water on a floating platform. With the rods out on the spot i was confident of picking a fish or two up. Early part of the night saw my bobbin pull tight to the alarm thought it was a bream take hit into it, the rod arched over with a fish on.. few solid thumps later and the fish come off. Not a good start.
Morning come around with still no fish in the net.. Noticed one or two patrolling around a nearby snag, but the fsh seemed to be spooking when they got near my bait, a little adjustment later and it saw the rod ripping around with a fish on. A pretty savage battle from making sure the fish didnt go in the snag and pulled a carp into the net. She weighed 23lb 15oz.. At last a carp on the bank! Only problem is my camera had run out of battery so only had enough juice to get 1 quick photo in.
Here she is
Hope that luck continues next time i get out carping!
