Diary Archive (2014)

I settled down to another boring afternoon of rubbish fishing, but was taken surprise by a frantic period of angry takes by large carp, all snapping me up and giving me a right good old bashing. Having bumped into the old fellow with the big wispy beard, who advised me to stick my float on the far bank, by the old boat, close into the margin, I soon started getting interest.

It was an average day of fishing, not helped by constantly getting tangled and snapped by angry carp.

Attempted to fish at Marsh Farm today - what a waste of time !

Finally got off my arse and drove up to Hawkstead, just to the south west of Bury St Edmunds. I stopped off at Creeting Lakes and Blue Water Lake, and they seemed quite nice places to fish.

The title says it all really. It was quite cold, the place was empty, and there was no signs of fishing activity

Quite a sunny warm morning turned into a cool and dull afternoon of lots of bites and much carp based fun.
