The sun comes out at last .
Today John tells me that on arriving down the lake the anglers were greeted with carp cruising all around the lake as the sun had decided to put an appearance as it was warmer than it had been for some time { does that mean summer is coming ? }.
With the amount of carp cruising around the small lake it was decided that the small lake was going to be used today but with 9 anglers today peg 9 in the big lake would be included.
The day started sunny and warmish but after an hour the wind started to blow from the south west making it much colder and started putting the fish down further in the water but John also tells me at this point the big lake looked perfect as Graham Ridgley who was pleasure fishing on his own was having a nice day catching carp on the tip.
In first place today was lake owner John Bennett who had drawn would you believe it end peg 9 and he had an enjoyable day catching from all areas of his peg 8 carp to 19lb on his favoured corn fished on the deck feeding micro pellets for his weight of 79-08 { well done John }. Hot on John’s heels was Middy backed angler and Easter festival winner Andy Quarmby who was 2 pegs away from John peg 7 and Andy also caught 8 carp but they were much small which gave him a final weight of 55-13 but well clear of Mick Jones in third as Mick weighed 22-04.
As the weather continues to get warmer i am sure that the carp will get down to having a proper feed and when this happens the weights start to rocket to 200lb plus so it could happen this weekend as the weather reports it could be at least 15 degrees which is 14 degrees warmer than it has been.
