EXCLUSIVE
productive couple nights and
now had three A team under
my belt.
The Carve Up: 5 days later,
I returned from the back end of
an overnighter I did on another
lake I work on, a couple of lads
I know were down and I found
a swim near to them which was
opposite the swim I had fished
hump and was confident that
I would be presented even if I
landed on the outskirts of the
spot. The bobbins laid slack
over the thick floating weed
beds that would clearly give
me much hassle in the next
couple nights. Minutes passed
as I set my brolly up and sorted
basic kit out, and put a couple
the week before. The swims
had been quiet for a while with
having nobody fishing them
and the fish had moved into the
are to seek safety, fish seemed
blatantly confident and almost
became cocky as they basked
over a glowing gravel hump
and poking their dorsal out the
water like their way of giving
me the finger. I quickly set up
the bare essentials and looped
on some solid bags I had from
the trip I had just got back
from to try and nick a quick
bite. The first rod cast out and
felt for a drop. I knotted on
marker elastic to save from
wrapping up as I was fishing
the middle of the large gravel
kilos of boilie, pellet, and some
worm liquid I had been making,
until the left-hand rod melted
away, pushing through the
weed-bed at the back of the
bar. A rough battle resulted
in a half lin of about eighteen
pounds, another solid bag cast
out and another bite, I had six
bites that evening and losing
two and they were all half Lins,
coincidence or not I was not
fussed as I was catching fish,
even catching one on the drop.
The night past as I watched
shooting stars pass across the
sky while I cooked dinner and
sat down with some mates.
Morning came round rather
quiet with me losing a carp in
