Simple Match Fishing Forum

Well what a cracking day weather wise. You wouldn't have thought it was December
Fishing today was a lot harder than last time we fished it, there was no roach and rudd showing shallow and there was 4 foot of water on from last time too.
After the last match here I made some extra deep rigs up with some 2 gram floats ready for next time and used them today. At 10 meters it was about 15 foot deep  :o
I setup up a shallow rig because when we got there we had seen fish topping all over the place, 10 meter line and a 5 meter line which was also a good 10 foot deep. Also set the feeder rod up as last time I caught some good roach and carp out on the feeder.
Started on the 5 meter line and started catching roach and Rudd right away then after an hour it died so I went out on the feeder and had 2 small Rudd, next bite as I lift my rod line started shooting off much to my delight. It was a ghost carp. Then the feeder died so I went on my ten meter line and started catching roach and Rudd again. I stuck this out till 1 hour was remaining then went back on the feeder and had some more smaller carp.
Had a cracking day and some good laughs and finished up with 14lb 02oz.

The brambles at KP are stronger than any carp in either of them venues

the brambles dont come straight at you and under the boards that you are sat on whilst youve still got your pole 14m out in front on you
