Hard Spring Carp Fishing | Cold Nights, Easterly Winds & a 24lb Reward

Trip 17 Carp Fishing - 2026Welcome back to another fishing adventure. This was never going to be an easy session.With strong easterly winds, high pressure, bright days, and near-frosty nights, the odds were stacked against me from the start. After a slow beginning and a tough decision to move swims, things finally turned around on the bottom lake.A tricky trip, plenty of thinking, and a reminder that sometimes it’s about sticking it out and adapting.A small common kicked things off… followed by a proper reward in the early hours.24lb 12oz CommonAnd one very hard-earned result.It’s not always about the size—it’s about the journey.Thanks for watching.
