Droppenfish has a spectacular aura aboutDroppenfish has a spectacular aura about
First Carp of the year

I'm pretty much a dyed in the wool Lure fishing nut these days, and I haven't posted on these boards recently. However I put away my shiny bits of metal and plastic for a change and had my first short session on my local "little" lake. It was an after work session so i only had about two hours, and the wind was blowing very cold across the water, so i chose a sheltered swim and fed some halibut pellets into a very tight area under an overhanging bush. bsically nothing happened for about an hour and a half, but just as i was about to freeze, the float bobbed once then sailed away and I connected with a very feisty 8lb common. Not the most spectacular fish in the world, but nice to get a fish in my first bait fishing session of the year!

I have started doing a lure fishing blog recently..so if anyone is interested it can be found here...

A lovely looking mirror, well done.....I love fishing for carp on the float....not sure why I don't do it more often to be honest.

Guilty of charge......of course it's a common and yes it's all the ginger wines fault....blame Greenheart, he introduced me to it.

Also the withdrawal symptoms of river fishing is getting to me
