salokcinnodrog Posted April 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) There is a story with this as well. I'd just put the coffee maker on the stove when I had the take. I thought it was a tufted duck or coot as they were diving, but as I picked the rod up realised it was a carp, so had to lean back over to turn the stove off while playing the fish. As I was playing it it kited right, alongside the rushes, but I hadn't got my chest waders ready, oops, so had to walk left up the bank to get the angle to play it clear. As it went out again i tried to sort chest waders but the fish gave me no chance so I had to step ankle deep to net it.

Are you the first to catch from your water this year ? ; also you mention the rushes , do you ever put a bait there , or is it too shallow ? . 😃 On 13/04/2022 at 18:17, Its-grim-up-north said: Me and my little lad had a good day out today, we caught a few nice carp, scranned a sack full of cheese and ham buttys, crisps and cakes … were now back home watching some episodes of monster carp lol…🎣👍 My wife's just said your lads' grin is as wide as the fish is long 😁 On 14/04/2022 at 13:58, elmoputney said: Congratulations on the new arrival, and a girl welcome to my world, it will be all Disney princesses and pink stuff before you know it, There is also a common saying they reckon all the best people are born In April so she is bound to be amazing 🤣 That will be quite a sight , Yonny dressed in a pink tutu over his waders . 😁 yonny, elmoputney and Its-grim-up-north 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
