I fished Aston ponds today - got there at 3.30 and was fishing by 4.00 - by 5.30 I'd only had one half hearted take on the quiver tip - despite trying various baits, so thinking to salvage something I packed up and when to KJS in Killamarsh.
Got set up and was fishing by 6.00 - I packed in at 8:30 having caught 2 small carp (well one small carp and 1 brown goldfish) both of about 3lb and both came at about 7.00.
I had plenty of bite that didn't hook fish on the strike - I changed bait, changed presentation and still nothing - then hooked a good fish and lost it in the reeds.
To make matters worse I forgot my brolly so got caught in 2 down pours.
Oh and when I thrown my left over bread in as I was packing up - the carp when made o nthe surface eating it and my rod was in the car.
