ouchthathurt Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 So I’m now sat at one of my local lakes, I usually fish it over winter and with it being so cold and me being rather rusty, I think this is my best shot at a carp or two. I can’t see any fishy activity, so chose a swim that’s central and commands a good view of most of the lake. There’s no one else here! I flicked one rod down the margins and the other out into open water where a deeper bowl is. Average depths are 4-6ft all over. Just starting to erect the Wendy house then the open water rod splutters into life, only been here 5mins! Quick strike and I can feel a carp on… which quickly comes off again! 🙄 still, it’s a good sign! Both rods fishing single bottom baits with small pva mesh bags of micro pellet. I need this session, these last 2wks have been emotional! I had to put my 2yr old rescue down after she attacked her trainer then I found out wifey was pregnant, yesterday we had a baby scan at the hospital and they found the baby easily enough, but there’s no heartbeat at 10wks. Fingers crossed that this session comes good. yonny, snowmanstevo, Golden Paws and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouchthathurt Posted April 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Many thanks mate, it’s taken all day, but finally I’ve found one! Not massive at low doubles, but it will do for me. That’s this season kicked off. crusian, elmoputney, dalej2014 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you caught a few and you enjoyed your time on the bank and it definitely helps to get out on your own for some chill out time and to clear your head. I really hope everything works out for you and your wife ouch, All the best mate my thoughts are with you. elmoputney and ouchthathurt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
