Trip 62 Carp Fishing – 2019

Location – Meadow Lake

Hours Fished – 41 hrs

It’s that time of the week again and I’m back out to the Meadow Lake and in the swim, I least expected to be set up in.  It was the best of the rest and commands so much water.  I could’ve easily set up in another couple of swims but would be near other anglers.  It just made sense and my daughter loves this swim and I tells me I will catch a monster…

Trip 59 Carp Fishing – 2019

  Location – Meadow Lake

Hours Fished – 44 hrs

I was unable to get down the lake until Saturday mid-morning, the wife was out at the ballet with a friend last night.  By the sound of things, the lake was pretty rammed and I don’t blame them, the conditions this week have been spot on and a few carp have been banked.

I arrived just after 1030 and found the lake pretty empty, as most of the Friday…

Trip 55 Carp Fishing – 2019

  Location – Meadow Lake

Hours Fished – 63hrs

I’m back in the swing of fishing again and very lucky this weekend I am able to fish 3 nights and catch up with Ian after the Summer Holidays.

Ian after just after 1030 and had a good look around the lake, he gave me a call with the options available.  It appeared that everyone had the same idea this weekend and had arrived down on Thursday.  We…

Trip 51 Carp Fishing – 2019

With the wife dropping the kids off at the mother-in-law’s for a few days.  It gave me the opportunity to do a quick night before work on Monday morning.

I’d the pick of any swim.  After chatting with a fellow member, the wind was hacking down the lake and there had also been a big storm over the weekend, I felt this was my best choice.  I was concerned that the carp may just be at the back of…

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 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…

Trip 41 Carp Fishing – 2019

With a hot week in the gardens this week, it was looking like a good weekend for fishing.  Ian arrived on Thursday night and had already bagged a nice 30.  By the time I arrived on Friday evening, there were a few anglers on and it was very obvious that if I wanted to stand a chance of bagging a few carp, I would need to double up with Ian.  If I blanked for the first few nights there was a good…
