Willows Lake - Thatcham 1730 - 2200 Warm(ish!) with a pleasant southerly breeze to keep the mossies and dew away. High cloud - but not enough to mask a bright gibbous moon. AT 20º-14ºC 2 Carp: 11lb 6oz & 8lb 2oz. 2 perch - small. Last evening here this summer (probably!) and first time this season I haven't caught a tench from this lake. Smaller carp was early doors (though preceded by the two micro-perch) and I then spent 2 hours staring intently at a stationary starlite - willing it to go under. Eventually I started flicking in bits of bread in the margins and it wasn't long before they started to get sucked under - so a quick switch to my carp rod and my dapped bit of bread was taken instantly - resulting in my only 'deliberately' caught carp of the summer! Not quite what I came here for - but needs must! Everything then went quite again and after another hour or so staring at a red spot in the lake and with the breeze starting to have a chilling effect on my bones I opted for a slightly earlier than planned pack up!

Jubilee Lake - Thatcham 1830 - 0400 Warm clear night with a slight breeze to keep the dew and mossies at bay. Still 14ºC when I packed up at 0400. Lovely night for star/planet gazing - with a double dose of the ISS. 1 Carp 6lb 2oz. Really quiet night - not at all what I expected - only bite came at around 2200 on my float fished prawn section in the margins (hoping for a tinca to show up) - the alarm on my other rod ledgering pellet or boilie was silent all night apart from the odd liner. Was expecting the venue to be quite busy - this might explain why it wasn't - not even much sign of fishing moving or showing.....

My fish came at 0400 and took a ball of hemp (stuck together with Kryston bogey) fished with a method feeder.
