It was Wednesday evening and the weather was grim.......rain and wind just as me and my good friend Will Farrow from Darrow Fishing Tackle headed to our syndicate lake. as we arrived the weather had calmed down so we got our rods etc ready and got them in the lake. After a walk around the lake and seeing some pike relaxing near the bank i regretted not having my spinning rod with me. This aside we had come for carp. The lake isn't particularly big and as we were the only ones there so we tried to cover as much of it as possible. This didn't help us. We used a variety of different methods all of which had no success. This said once we had the bait in the water it gave us some time to get the bbq on and have a great feed on burgers and sausages as well as a few beers (and i have to admit a bottle of rose). Needless to say getting to sleep wasn't a problem and we were both soon in the land of nod hoping to be woken up by a screaming bite alarm.............this didn't happen.
After awaking in the morning with not a single bleep we decided to have a sausage sandwich and call it a day. We knew it was going to be tough as it always is with 25 carp in a small lake and locating them is not easy. We will return for more drinking and gossiping as well as some fishing to help pass the time.............all in all it was an enjoyable evening even though we didn't catch. Who says you need to catch to enjoy yourselves??
For now carpers get lucky and catch those fattening carp before the winter gets here.
