SHORT SESSION SUNDAY ( 21. 6. 2015 )

Another weekend soon comes around and I'm pleased to say another short session, Last weeks encounter was some what of a frustrating one It has to be said angling soon after the resident Carp had spawned was always going to be a challenge and thinking about It now If I'd of known before hand the situation I'd probably of given that weekend the wide birth?, We managed a bite a piece so It wasn't a wasted Journey


This weekend were hoping things are a lot different and we both hope the Carp are up for some grub? Their's a few anglers present this week and the same swims we were angling from last week are available, Without hesitation we went our separate ways Jumped In the swims and began setting our stall out again In search of a Carp


Rigs and baits we are using In this session remain the same as they did last weekend, We both Introduced free offerings over all our rods nothing to heavy as always being a short session were trying to nick bites for longer sessions were both tempted to go heavier on One and sometimes Two rods?, Everything sorted It's time to stick on the kettle for the first brew of the afternoon and watch the water

The early signs were encouraging and we both spotted a lot of fish milling around In front of us, We experienced numerous liners for a good Two hours before one of ( Marc's ) rods finally rattled off which resulted In one of the lakes smaller Commons


I ( Matt ) wasn't happy with my middle rod which was presenting a Key snowman rig and fished over a mixture of Key and 4G Squid, I was pretty sure that Carp were visiting the spot but were being very suspect regards my hookbait? Decision made I reeled In the rod and changed the hook bait from a Key bottom bait tipped with a Key fluro tipper to a Key cultured hookbait

The cultured Key hook bait being very concentrated and high attract may Just be the edge to draw more Interest to the business end of my rig?

                                                   TIME FOR A BREW

​                                      CULTURED  KEY  HOOK  BAIT

Thirty minutes later and the re spotted rod presenting the Key cultured / fluro tipper hook bait was away

Another one of the lakes smaller Commons

                                                  AT  LAST  A BITE

( Marc ) enjoyed some more action around 7.30 pm and went on to capture Four more Carp nothing of any size though


I ( Matt ) nicked another bite thanks to the cultured hook baits and Just before dusk bagged the biggest of the session on my Salmon and Oyster bottom baits second outing


This one sadly had some moth damaged so like I do with all my captures gave It some much needed TLC

                                     LOOKING  AFTER  OUR  CARP

As you can see this one was one which recently did the deed and was well spawned out

                                                    SPAWNED  OUT

Their we go that completes another short session were hoping to do It all again next week?

Thanks for reading as always Tight Lines and Happy Angling
