Whitemoor Lakes Saturday

I fished at Whitemoor Lakes on Saturday with George (Burnard the Gurnard). I put one rod out with a strawberry and crab boilie on tight to the island next to the sanctuary in the hope of bagging a few carp. I planned on doing some surface fishing with the other rod and trying to stalk some carp. Not long after we set up, it started to thunder and chuck it down with rain. I left the bivvy at home so we got absolutly soaked. With no fish surfacing in these conditions I set the other rod up with luncheon meat to the island.

All I managed were a few skimmer bream on the lunchon meat. Just as we were packing up George's rod screamed off and he had a small carp on luncheon meat. The anoying thing was that he cast it out in my swim which I had been baiting up all day and I had to strike his rod because he wasn't even watching and it nearly went in the lake!

nothing worse than a poacher.

Well done Gents, a wet old day but you managed a few.
