Yeah mate got frost this morning and its bittter 🤣. My mate has had another 2, potential pb in the sling...I've had nothing 🤣

[jh92]

My mate has a new pb of 14lb 10oz 😆

Sealed my waders with fantastic elastic flexible glue, £1.59 from poundland, it's done the job 👌

My mate had to go home on day 4 for work, but I stuck it out. My session has been saved by a small common tonight 👍 

Happy days 👍

Determined to catch a few more before I go tomorrow. Might even stay on until Monday 🤣

Bites have been slow on bottom baits so chucked out a white krill pop up on a slip d and it's produced a fish in a matter of hours 👍🤣

Got a small lovely mirror in the sling. Just waiting for the rain to ease and will get some pics 👍👍

12lb, lovely looking fish 👌

Now that’s a view you don’t see often in a pic of a carp 😀  so not damaged just deformed a bit

Another little mirror 👍

I'm home now, yesterday it rained relentlessly from around 11am all the way until 6am this morning, was driving towards the door so had the door down all day and night 💤🤣

had 2 wicked battles in the night, wading out into choppy water with waves riding up my waders, big wind and heavy rain, loved it 🤣

There's was a break in the rain this morning so packed up and got out of there before the next lot hits which is due to last until late Monday, so called it quits lol.

Caught 5 carp in the end, 3 commons and 2 mirrors. 16mm white sticky krill pop ups done produced the most bites, so gonna have to up my game and start giving pop ups a try on different venues lol

 

There's some cracking fish in there and I can't wait to return in September 👍 

Now have the task of drying everything out 🤣
