Carp Match 3 From Coach Justin

Yes it was Time for the Next Carp Match which was a 30 hour on the Lakes

Up Nice and Early with the sun shining which made a change from all the Rain we have been getting lately

All on Time for the Check In, Quick Chat then got on with the Draw

I believe I was first out the Hat so Picked the Bowl on the Large Lake

Was looking forward to this One as had a long Week and needed to unwind , and there’s no better way to do this then down the lakes with a line in the water

Not a great start for me with the Zip broke Again on the inner panel of My Trakker Bivvy , so will be sending it back , Just Lucky I had the over wrap to put over

Just about set up then time to start 10.30 am

Within the 1^st Hour fish on,

so things was looking good

A Nice 8lb 8 oz Ghosty looks slightly like the fish I had a few years ago for fish of the Year but a Bit Smaller so there must be a Few in the Lake

Ended up landing a few More

then Time for somthing to Eat

A Nice Curry Hayden made and brought Down, Just the Job

Think I managed a couple more fish

then went very slow,

All though the night just a few bleeps which was a shock as it fishes very well at night but this may of been due to the weather because it did turn very cold with the unhooking mat Iced Up with a sheet of Ice and top of Bivvy all frosted Up as well

But I did have a Visit of a Friendly Rat kept coming in the Bivvy and Jumping in my bucket of Pellets , 1^st One I have seen down the lakes for a long Time

Up very Early watching the lake and the steam coming of the lake with sun beating Down, Nothing better

Chat with everyone else then slow walk back to the rods to see If I could manage a few more fish but know it was going to hard as the fish was about a foot of the top but not really hot enough of get them on doggys as there was still a bit of wind on the lake

Try a few Zigs , But No Joy on them but will not give up on them as I am sure it is going to me a few more fish this year

Couple more fish out which was a result
