The lakes been fishing slow of late so didn't have great expectations but I found a few fish showing in an area so that's good enough for me. Just after first light and one of the rods ripped off and I landed this 21lb 10oz mirror. I'll take that as it's my first trip back since june. Lovely looking Carp, Emmcee . 😀 emmcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from the biggest in there but lovely to meet a fish I know rarely slips up.

yonny Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Couple of twenties from a morning session on a tricky little reservoir last week. 20.08 and 24.08.

Yep...bait a spot and some times even fish a completely different colour to be inquisitive... Oh well , I guess you're just a hopeless case then , Highy 😁. I've had a few , literally , 20's , and for me the most exciting / successful method was to stalk them off the top so I physically only presented my bait to the biggest fish I saw - even then a sneaky much smaller Carp can zoom in out of nowhere and snaffle up my bait . I hope the search for the elusive 20 isn't spoiling your angling enjoyment , Nick has touched on the subject of targets before , and I think he said something like go with the flow and enjoy the journey . 😃 ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
