I think I am beginning to become a much better CARP angler

[paddy2k7_red4life]

I got a day off college on Friday due to teachers training so I was made up so me and me dad decided to go to the lake and catch some carp. So when me dad got in work in the morning (nights) we set off straight so it was around 7 30 we left, went to shop got a paper and few drinks got to the lake around 8 00. As soon as I got to the lake I had a good look around the lake to see if I could see any carp, I seen a few carp out near the middle island so I decided to go on the peg facing it, I set up me stuff got the rods out and set up one on the bottom rig and the other with a pop up. I spodded a bit of bait out, anyway got me brolly system up and relaxed waiting for the carp. But no fish came to me, so brought me rods in and decided to have another look around for some carp. I found some carp on the other side of thee lake, I decided to move took me around four trips, I just wished it to pay off because I would have wasted some bait and time but it all came to plan, I ended up catching 3 carp up to 16 4 so I was very happy but if this would have been last year I would have just been lazy and stayed in the original lake so I am very happy and I think I am beginning a much better carp angler
