After being full of optimism I went to Sherwood with visions of Carp / Elastic / and a few bites...pulling up at the cabin at 7.20am that all changed....matches on every pond apart from Cavendish which already had Deckchairs on. Didnt fancy it.
Pulled off at 7.30am with Carp jumping all over sherwood lake. Was only going to be a short session so options then limited on the Match Disaster. Park Hall or home calling....tough call.
Setting up on peg 23(?) despite being sunny, the wind was howling through the lake with fairly decent waves as a result.....Bloke to my right landing a carp as i sat down......5 mins later bloke opposite same.
Feeder rod, 6lb line, drennan 25g cage feeder, hair rigged corn & pellet........an hour later....nothing....not a touch.....
Rodney and Del boy turn up to my right.....they erect umbrella and it goes in lake....Rodney falls in getting it back....deserved.
The tip goes around and a skimmer of maybe a pound comes in.....three more follow and a lost carp for my efforts....
Another two carp follow with a nice common of 4-5lb the highlight. Then bites dried up
Very Cold despite the Sun - T Shirt turned into Sweatshirt turned into Hoodie and Cap...
Three people around me caught quite a few while i was there Del Boy and Rodney were banging out a Boilie and catching three very easily.....the place baffles me....really does.
