After Welly had shut due to spawning I was wondering what to do with my self… then I remembered that my good friend Rich does a Charity Fishing event at his set of lakes to raise money for the NHS Tunbridge Wells.
So I opted to go there thinking I’d bag a few, raise some money and have a lovely time… well, I had a lovely time, sure, but the fishing was graft!!!
The fish seemed very content the at one end of the lake with no intentions of moving and I couldn’t get near them.
Going into my second night I repositioned all my rods short in amongst the w**d as I saw the odd fish show. Maybe a few have came over to my side…
My mate Disaster Dave popped down for a cold one and no sooner had he sat down my middle rod was away and this stunning scaley mirror was the victim!
Carp caught, Money raised, back next year to hopefully help raise more for the cause.
