Watch - Trip 11 Carp Fishing - 2025

The Blank Saver Test: A Week of Unexpected Turns This week didn’t turn out quite the way I expected. Things changed, and the fishing trip I had planned was completely altered by circumstances beyond my control. At one point, I seriously considered not going at all. But then, I thought that would be silly—a wasted opportunity.  Instead, I opted for my club lake, mainly for the peace and quiet it offers, and I figured it would be a good opportunity to test out a few things. I arrived around 11:30 am to find the lake completely empty—just what I needed. But that presented a new challenge: choosing a swim. I’ve always been drawn to the dam end, mainly because of the thick lily pads that grow there, but I knew I needed to fish somewhere else. I’ve only fished seven of the twenty available swims, and it’s time to explore more if I want to truly understand the layout of the lake.
