I was coaching a couple of kids and their Dad yesterday in the pouring rain. They fished the training lake which is absolutely stuffed with small carp. It is the first time that I have used it since the big freeze. 2 hours fishing, 2 frozen and soaking boys and 2 fish – a roach and a rudd. I called it a day after 2 hours they were so cold. Buy what has happened to the carp? Cormorants or no feed and they are dormant? Time will tell I suppose.
I had a bit of a grueller today at Suffolk Water Park watching a mate catch 96lb 2 pegs away! I had 5 carp in 5 casts in the middle of the match when his peg slowed up but the fish were a little tightly shoaled!
