So after a stint on the DJ circuit where my weekends felt like they were non-existent waking up on a Monday morning for the dreaded 9-5 I finally decided to build my kit up and put those lost hours back on the bank. With the thought of carp fishing always in the back of my mind it was time to make it happen so here I am. For the first year I decided to fish short sessions revolved around hours outside the office on an estate lake that is right on my doorstep and to me seemed like it would be the best place to start and would give me a challenge. With ridiculous rules for a water of its size compared to others around I am more than happy with what I have achieved in the first season with catches to 23lb15oz. I have decided after numerous re-captures that it’s now time to move on and have already set sights on new waters to visit and hopefully repeat the same results. You can follow my highs and lows right here so stay tuned for regular updates…
