Spent the day fishing for carp with a mate, the original plan was to sit and wait for the whole day but after four hours without a touch i went for a wonder and saw some movement on an adjacent lake so we upped and moved, this paid off as within twenty minutes i had a fish on, first fish of the year was a 9lb 10oz common. Both my baits were withing 20 feet of each other tight to an island, one with a lobworm and pva mesh of maggot and the other a white rum soaked redfish boilie tipped with fake corn. The alcohol soaked boilie was the bait picked up so definately going to be experimenting more with this! A few more moves between lakes saw no more bites but given the conditions im more than happy to have just landed a fish!
