I had 13 the first weekend to 9-2,two carp to 11-9.toughing it out on the Thames this weekend,4 to 6lb,eels and a cheeky jack.maggots doing the business.
Good going. There seems to be even more carp in there this season (someone has emptied a lake somewhere). Lost two carp, including a double, just landed that little one. And I need to get myself down to The Thames for a barbel this year - good luck if you’re still out.
Nice.what happened to barbel 14-26?..
ReplyDeleteA few around the 4 or 5lb mark, but mostly splashers while targeting the roach - they do love bread! How are you getting on?
