Well the weather was just about perfect but muggins here only caught one small F1 carp the whole day.   Chris did really well with the pole and had a good bag of F1 carp, bream, roach, rudd and tench.  He caught a lovely 16lb 6oz common carp and a nice tench which looked about 3lbs.

The guy next to us caught a whopper common carp. It weighed in about 28lbs 8oz. I say about because the scales were fluctuating a bit as the fish moved in the weigh bag.

The baits were mostly halibut hooker soft pellets for Chris.   Sweetcorn and soft liquorice for me and the guy who caught the whopper caught it in the near margins with a lump of spam.

Even though I only caught the one fish, it was most enjoyable. Loads of carp were splashing about, spawning in the reeds, right under our feet.

Must buy a pole for the next fishing trip.

More next time…..
