fished a local day ticket water today called marshside near herne bay,
went on to the match lake,called scroggins i think
this was a bit of a shake down session after 6 months of piking,
well the forecast was very wrong,it was supposed to be mild with the odd sunny spell,we didnt see the sun all day

and as i pulled up at the lake the temperature was minus 0.5

,
that sure put the fish down and bites were hard to find,

eventually after many tackle changes i started getting a few bites on double maggot on the float gear,
it was gobies all the way,couldnt get through them for the first couple of hours

until the odd roach started appearing

soon after that things improved somewhat with a skimmer bream

closely followed by a mystery carp,i'm not very knowledgable about all the carp strains,this looked like a small common but with a definate blue tinge to the scales,a blue orfe perhaps ?? can anyone help ?

fishing tailed off after that with gudgeon taking over once more,
it was enjoyable session but a cold one,hurry up spring i need to fish in the warmer water for a while

Plenty of bait for next year there m8
joking aside, tidy session. Im no expert but the Carp looks like an ordinary commom to me, they vary in colour from venue to venue depending on watwer clarity and plant life ect ect
