Trip 3 Carp Fishing - 2022

I am taking full advantage of my wife working from home until the government updates the rules and she has to work in the office again.  I arrived down the lake, my golden rule is to sort out a swim and then talk to the other anglers on the lake if I feel the need for extra information.  This time, I stopped for a chat with a couple of anglers before heading along to my more favoured swim, which they also both suggested.  I missed out on it by about a minute, but is the reality of fishing sometimes and may be the lake was pushing me back to this swim again?
