With the crops about to be harvested, Rob and I have been engaged in the skill (or luck) of angling. I have had the luxury of utilising days during the week to take advantage of waters with no other anglers present!
With sessions resulting in up to 35 carp to 18lb+ between us, things haven't stood still.
In one session I banked 70 carp to 9lb with one lost fish and several missed opportunities. Most of the catches have been on floating dog biscuits exclusively on the pole.
One venue has produced several double figure specimens including the 18lb+ mirror carp. It is this water that I was lucky to land two 18.5lb mirror's last season.
One of the highlights up to date was a kingfisher almost landing on the pole.
We're both having fun trying new baits and methods and tomorrow will see more trials taking place.
This fishing season may be quite short as a new permission is about to harvest their OSR next week!
