Carp Fishing - Day Ticket Carp Fishing Trip
Anglers Diary &bull May 31, 2009
I must admit I'm not a big fan of day ticket carp fishing, mainly because of the silly prices fisheries are charging for a 24hr session these days!. If I do fish a day ticket water I want to be sure I'm on the type of water that offers me big fish, after all, if I'm paying over the odds, I want to be in with a chance of a big carp. I'd actually given up day ticket carp fishing many years ago when I thought Linear Fisheries were getting greedy and starting to charge too much, my opinion of… Full Story »

Anglers Diary &bull May 17, 2009
Spring is well under way now and summer is just around the corner, after a winter of day only carping I've started fishing nights again in the last month or so and I'd forgotten just how handy it is having a decent brolly for overnighters.The JRC Stealth Brolly is my chosen system for overnighters, the stealth covers… Full Story »

Carp Fishing - Winter Carping Pt7
Anglers Diary &bull May 3, 2009
After opening my 2009 carp account with a 14lb 6oz common last week I was back at the lake the following Saturday which was the 24th January. On my way to the lake is was getting increasingly agitated as the fields either side of the road were white with frost. The closer I got to the lake the worse the frost seemed to be and I had a nagging feeling that I might be driving towards a frozen lake!. I was already most of the way there so I didn't bother turning the car round and going home. When I… Full Story »

Carp Fishing - Winter Carping Pt6
Anglers Diary &bull Apr 12, 2009
I can't believe just how cold its been over Christmas and new year!. Prior to this fishing session I'm writing about now, which took place on Saturday 17th January, my last winter carp session was on boxing day!. With the lakes iced over for a few weeks I eventually decided to make a start on reviewing some of the fishing gear I use and my first review was on kryston silkworm braid, a hooklength material I've been using for over 15 years now. As I've used this material for so long it seemed logical to review one of my… Full Story »

Carp Fishing - Winter Carping Pt5
Anglers Diary &bull Mar 29, 2009
After 4 nice doubles on the 22nd December I was keen to get back to the lake on Christmas eve, I set the alarm for 8am and when it went off I woke up with a splitting headache and I felt sick. There wasn't going to be any Christmas eve fishing session for me this year so I rolled over and went back to sleep in the hope that a few more hours might see me right.The next chance to get out fishing again was 2 days later, I was fully recovered by then but unfortunately the weather had taken… Full Story »

Carp Fishing - Winter Carping Pt4
Anglers Diary &bull Mar 15, 2009
I had a few days annual leave booked over Christmas and with Saturdays 22lb common fresh in my mind I decided a return trip to the lake was in order so I packed my gear early on Monday morning and headed back across Cheshire to my winter runs water.Things had certainly changed since Saturday, the wind had eased right off and the carp had decided to show themselves. As soon as I pulled into the car park I was greeted by a carp crashing about 50 yards out and right in the entrance to the small bay off the main… Full Story »
