Trip 16 Carp Fishing - 2023

This will be my first 3 nighter for a while and hopefully get me out of the struggling times I'm going through at the moment. It's going to be a social with Ian as well, so we are looking to be fairly close and on the back of the cold north wind. I arrived sometime after 0915 and had a good look about, I then called Ian about our options as he was about 30 minutes away. I then headed onto one of the islands we can fish off, as this felt like an ideal option. I would take a closer look between now and when Ian arrives. The carp were pretty much everywhere I looked since I arrived, a couple were looking a bit like they were building up to spawning. Let's hope the pressure rise and cloudy wet weather hold them back until Sunday afternoon. This is all we can hope for. Ian arrived just after 10 a.m., and we had a look about, we discussed our options, and as my leg was still playing up, he kindly offered to fish further away from the car park. This would make my life/walking a lot easier.
