Went for a Lure session & managed a couple of jacks on an Atom spoon. A gifted lure, which has caught my benefactor Salmon & Sea Trout. One lives in hope!

Went Carp fishing later expected to be 20oC.

I fished the same swim as last time (where I caught 13lb'er) & used the same method feeder, with 8mm pellets. Only had to wait half an hour for the first fish, an 11lb'er.

Couple more followed until I got too hot & moved swims, to a shaded one.

Enjoyed a JLPatricia 2002, with a Waitrose 1% cider.

After lunch I noted an orange looking carpet cruise by. A lucky cast & I managed to get between trees on the opposite island.

An hr later & take. Managed to haul it away from the snags easy enough, but then it seemed to wake up & fought well, it's large tail slapping the line & surface.

It weighed 17lb 02, no one I have spoken too has caught 18 or above for several yrs. Historically, there were a couple of 20lb'ers & even 8lb Tench, sadly, also long gone.

Got home & felt a celebration was required, one of my few remaining LCG No3 was duly sacrificed, allow with a fine Negroni.

Well done Simon Bolivar
PS looks like you have loads of LGC3 left - come on, box split!
