Another cold front past through, last for awhile hopefully...
To escape the chill Squidder and I decided to educate ourselves further on Carping, this time at a scholastic institute known for abundance. On arrival plenty were visible and active and as the sun came out in-between overcast conditions they slowly shut down. Interesting to note the eminence of a dead specimens littering the bank (Sure there pests, but why leave them like that?).
Unweighted scrub worms, Powerbait, corn on Jindy rigs and hair corn deployed we didn't have to wait long, in fact my first rod went off before I even got the bells on. Something about these brutes that many find irresistible, well one thing's for sure they pull hard. This one had me all over the shop for a couple of minutes before Jason slid the net under it and I posed for a stinky photo.
Jason's fish came much slower around 2 hours later. During though one fish was dropped and many were still sighted. Taken on a scrub worm it was an interesting battle to watch, in and out of the reeds and sticks. Couple of turtles about and water dragons (Hub lizards), quite a nice place to fish and apart from the dead Carp on the bank as picturesque as a semi landscaped environment can get.
That will probably be the last Carp session for a few months, capital spring is here!
