Chilly day session today...  won’t be a long day.. but my last short session here a couple of weeks ago with frost on the ground resulted in a 19 lb 2oz common after three hours fishing.. hoping for the same sort of luck today 😂😂😂

This mornings view......was a pleasant one watching the reflections as well as watching carp feeding in the still water.. my trip was another one of my short sessions on one of my club waters, bait in the water at 7.30 and packed up at 10.30... ( I do a lot of these short sessions in the winter, just to keep an eye on what’s going on ) this water is not a easy water and you almost need a machete to get to the swims around the back and a good pair of wellies to get through the ankle deep wet mud 😁... so it was my “ very mobile and doesn’t matter if my gear gets damaged kit today “  the trip was enjoyable but didn’t result in any big mirrors that I was after today, but did result in a fairly small common which was still a welcome result in December..

What a great autumnal pic 👍

[Choprider]

Another early morning shot, got here in darkness put a very small carpet just off some snags... and set up... cast two baits into baited area and 2 hours later....... one common thirty one and a half pounds....  for a fairly difficult water..... well chuffed.. going to stick the kettle on now.... espeacially now the rod is back in the water..👍

[Choprider]

In all the excitement i almost forgot to put the view from my bivvy on the post,  well not a view from a bivvy really more like a view from hiding under the tree's whilst wading around in mud trying not to disturb my swim whilst fishing in the margins..

It was indeed angry, and put up a good account of itself, it was a very thick set fish and heavy to lift ( I must be getting old, as i couldn't lift it and hold it out towards the camera for that big carp look  ) but instead just had my arms hanging down which doesn't do the fish much justice in the picture.. mind you it was lucky to have its picture taken .. as its not so easy with your iPhone balanced on the top of your bucket
