Just been lake fishing for the first time, normally a river man. Had a cracking time but ended up very fustrated at the losses. Tell me what im doing wrong. Had 2 rods set up 1 method feeder and 10mm pop-up. The other pva with lead and 15mm boiie. Both on bait runners. So the line whizzes off and i strike and start the fight. All goes well until i get the fish on the surface to net it. As the net goes in the fish spits the hook. Happened 50% of the time. Am i not holding the rod right? Is this the norm with carp? i tried several hooks and sizes. bloody fustrating as i had an amazing first session.
