Trip 60 Carp Fishing – 2019

  Location – Estate Lake

Hours Fished – 5hrs

Back from two nights on the big syndicate and the house husband stuff done.  I am trying to stick to my Monday day session on here, it’s just hard work after packing up at 6 am on the other syndicate.

I’m sticking to this swim all Winter, as it gives me easy access to bait up and fish from and it will simplify things if I can fit the odd night in as…

Trip 54 Carp Fishing- 2019

Location – Meadow Lake

Hours Fished – 18hrs

I made it back down the lake for another quick overnighter and the angler pressure from the weekend gone (and the fact that no one had fished in the swim I was in Friday night on a Saturday night), I was just drawback there again.  Not sure why but it just felt the right place to be.

I baited the same spot I had fished my right-hand rod on my last…

Trip 49 Carp Fishing – 2019

I have been lucky this weekend and have been given the opportunity by the family to get out on the bank again. So, I’m thanking them for that.

Ian and I fancied a change of scenery this weekend and headed over to the Airfield Lake. We had not been here for some time and this swim has a great view of 3/4 of the big lake.  This would give us a chance to see where the carp are; generally everywhere…

Trip 47 Carp Fishing – 2019

With the heatwave over and we had a free weekend, I was down the lake just after 9 am with my two daughters.  We pitched up next to Ian under the big willow, there was no way I was sitting out in the direct sunlight.  There is an age thing where you become much more sensible and less concerned about catching at every cost; e.g baking yourself.

We swapped over sides this trip and I was on the…

Trip 45 Carp Fishing – 2019 – d

With the weather conditions still spot on, I had to squeeze another night in.  The pressure was low and there was a good bit of wind & rain along with a nice southerly breeze.  The downside was it was the weekend and the pressure was back on the lake.

My swim choice was pretty limited by the time I arrived and soon settled on the swim which had given me 3 runs the other week, struck into thin…

Trip 44 Carp Fishing – 2019 – d

The school holidays are less than a week away and the weather conditions are looking perfect for a change, a dip in the pressure and light rain showers, it’s worth being on the bank.

With the wind pushing up from the south, I had in mind a couple of swims and after looking at them all I opted for this one.  It’s well away from any other anglers – unless some set up very late, fingers crossed on…

Trip 43 Carp Fishing – 2019 – d

After the success of my last trip on the Estate Lake and still full of confidence, it was worth another go.  The more time I spend here, the better understanding I will get.

With the mozzie issue last time, I have come down straight after the school pickup, with the youngest.

Who is quite happy with her tablet, some water, and food.  I’m hoping to catch early on and avoid the mozzies.  I think…
