Always one willing to experiment (as long as no one was watching) I'd bought some white chocolate boillies. I'd seen in the angling press that these could be quite deadly.
I arrived at the pond about 2pm to find one other fishermen and a couple of EA bailiffs! As I was only carping for the afternoon and evening I'd only taken the bare minimum of tackle and yes you've guessed it - I'd left my licence at home. A quick check on their computer confirmed that I did have one and all was well! The licence now lives in my car!
Once the embarressment had died down I set to work setting up my two rods. As usual the first was by the margins and the second was in open water.
I didn't have long to wait for the action to start. A two pound common took a carp pellet boillie as expected from swim 1.
The carp pellet boillies were working well because moments later a 3 pound common took one!
At 14:39 (camera timing!) the buzzer went on rod 2 and this 4 pounder with a liking for tutti fruitti boilies was in the net.
15:45, the buzzer on rod 2 went off again and this 5 pounder was in the net. Each fish bigger than the previous one! At this rate the carp record was all but mine!
At 16:02 the increase in size continued as this 7 pounder also to a fancy to a tutti fruitti bait!
That was it as far as the best fish of the session went, I had a couple more smaller ones before I had to pack up as it got dark.
I must say there is nothing better than sitting by a pond on a late summer's afternoon - beats the telly hands down!
Bye for now.
