my recent fishing trip

[fantasticfisherman]

hi all, although i have not been on here for a long time, i thought id share my recent fishing trip with you all seeing as it was quite an achievement for me. ive just come back from norfolk after being there for a week and staying at a place which has a nice carp lake right outside the apartments. i fished all week, with the boilie and alarm approach and throughout the week had quite a few carp from about 10lb to 20lb with a 20lb common being the biggest (and subsequently my first 20 from that water) which i was very chuffed with. but what really got me buzzing was a couple of fish that weren't carp, but roach...and very big roach at that. i had two in a row, and ive never seen such big roach and i never will again as long as i live probably. for they were both 3lb'ers. the first was a 3 1/2 lb'er and the second slightly smaller at 3 1/4. although i cant gain much credit for the captures as they weren't caught on conventional roach tactics, i still am very pleased i caught them.
