Default Target rich environment

A local trout lake I frequent has a good head of carp. Went out today, for trout Too warm they were well down, however as you can see there were a load of carp basking in the sun. Only had a compact with me so picture not so good.

So change of tactic and target. Four carp, two mirror, two common. On a 9ft 6#, All taken on a deer hair dog biscuit thingy.

Good fun, but hard work, my arm is numb.
Really could have done with a bigger net. Oh, did manage one bow at last knockings
