Something satisfying targeting Carp but glad I don't do it often as I feel I enjoy it more. Monday morning before work a dawn raid was planned and with the glorious weather we are at last experiencing I thought the timing was good!
Minimal gear and a loaf of bread was all I needed, I rarely Carp fish with more! When I arrived I saw very little movement on the top which was a surprise to me as I was expecting to see plenty of cruising Carp patrolling the surface for grub. Chances it would seem would be at a premium and I wasn't wrong either, that said inevitably one or two would show and in the two hours I was mooching around one Carp did fall for the oldest trick in the book and gave a very good account of itself.
When its shoulders broke the surface before the mouth I thought it was a decent, when it ambled over the cord I could see it was a linear! That will do nice and just a smidgen over the twenty pound barrier (20.02).
That was it for me and off to work I went. Stay tuned for part two.
