A few weeks ago we had been watching the river closely, dripping the bait in every few days. Conditions weren’t perfect we’ve had no rain for over 2 weeks and things were looking tough, then i saw the weather forecast horrahh! lots of rain and low pressure, as soon as the weather came we knew it was the perfect opportunity. But we only had 24 hours, so we had to get working, after feeding a few spots over the last few weeks and watching the water closely i knew where the carp were. we set the traps, i was choosing to fish bright snowman rigs in small solid bags, has been a proven affective method for the river. As nightfall came my right rod screamed off, resulting in a 12lb scaly mirror. As i settled down for the night and tried to get some sleep, an hour later i was woken my a slow ticking run in the same rod, and on the bank with a 10lb common. Then late into the night just before 4am, i had a take on my margin rod, after a long battle i landed a 13lb lovely dark common. Session was successful, just wish we could of had more time, and still in search of the elusive 2o+ river carp.
