If I had as many takes as spammers recently, I would have had the season of a lifetime already! 🙄

a mid double common to christen the new rods 

rods out on the park lake for the first night of the new season, shed load of bream, but no carp

a mid double common to christen the new rods 

Went to a little pond with my youngest boy yesterday and he caught his first ever carp.
Lovely little 7lb common.
He's got the carp bug now😉

Great result @commonly well done! 

It makes a change for me to start one!
Started well yesterday morning, got here around 7, saw a few shows, small bag with a few 10mms and pop up combi rigs put out in that direction. 
Literally within 5 minutes (whilst I was down the margins putting out a few freebies), my left hand rod had ripped off.
I felt it on, felt a good weight, then the dreaded snag. I just kept tension & bump, it came off.
Dejected I redid the rod and put the kettle on. Just about to pour & the middle ones off.
Good little scrap and lovely little scaled 16lb mirror. 
Went a bit quiet, sun was up so tried zigs in a few different spots , moving them about every hour or so. Not even a liner!
As the sun dropped , I thought I'd switch back to bottom baits as I'd already caught and felt more confident for the night.
Nothing through the night and just as I was stirring the left rod was off, happy days.
This one felt a bit heavier, then the line went slack, I wound in faster and found the tension to the fish, it tussled a little bit, but was easily netted.
As I pulled her out I thought this is a good 30 odd, could be a new pb?
Scales topped out at 43 exactly, it is a new pb!
Sent a pic to my mate (who's also on here), turns out to be the big girl of the lake.
I'm absolutely made up

out for 4hrs today, just to enjoy the sunshine! Had this 15lb common on a single NS orange pop up 

So, I went to the big one show today and left with… 
3x fox horizon X4S rods, 
3x Sonik gravity rods, 
a pot of sticky banana limited edition pop ups.
