I got to a local lake at 8:30 this evening - knowing I had about an hour to fish I took the most basic kit.
11 ft rod 1.2lb tc, pin reel with 6lb line, landing net, uhooking mat,hooks, float, shot prawnd and bread.
I put some prawns in he margin , set up my rod and sat cross legged on the unhoking mat and fished - then put a couple of slices of bread in the reeds.
I had a roach of about 1/2lb on the prawn then the carp began tp slurp the bread like a toothless grandad eating porridge.
A piece of bread went on the size 14 hook and was lowered into the orgy that was feeding carp.
A common of about 5lb was the first fish to grace the bank - then I put out some more breadand gave the carp a few minutes to regain their confidence.
Soon the carp were competing for the bread like a fat lass after the last ham rollat a wedding buffet.
A mirror of around 7lb then fell to the hooked bread, after unhhoking I packed up for 9:30.
A nice hour of fishing withoutmy usual "Take to much gear" approach
I must try the simple methods more.
