I left work a little early last night and headed straight to the "Pit", I dropped straight into the same swim as I was in last weekend.
I stood and watched the water for a few minutes and saw a few tell tale signs of Carp, "this will do nicely" I thought!
It didn't take me long to get all 3 rods out and the house up, it was nice to relax for the first time in a week and as I sat watching the water........Pete turned up with a kebab, life doesn't get any better than this!
Shortly after Pete's arrival I got a call, Martin was on his way down to do a night as well. It was a lovely night to be on the bank and we chatted about all things carpy late into the night.
Soon after Pete left, me and Martin called it a night.
Although I don't know why I bothered to be honest, I was kept awake all night by liners which I was pretty certain was a shoal of Bream, my suspicions were confirmed at 3am when I landed a chunk of a Bream.
I spent the next few hours Dozing in and out of consciousness before waking up at 6am, soaking in sweat.
It was like an oven under the Oval already, so I had a quick brew then had a slow back up.
Before I left I had a good look round, which I haven't had a chance to do as yet.
I stumbled across a very carpy looking area, with all the features you could possibly want, saw a chunk cruising too, I will be keeping a very close eye on it!
Until next time,
Smithy
