First Night session of the year this one. For it I opted for the Dixon lake at the Newbury Angling Association lakes. The lake is the furthest from the car park but as I was going to be there overnight I didn't mind lugging my gear all that way. I arrived at the swim around 17:00 and again much like the last session I could see plenty of fish on the surface. Again I set up a Zig Rig 12" under the surface however on this lake i had never fished it before so I did use a marker rod to find the centre depth. I only did this the once as I did not want to spook the fish too much.
Within the first hour I had a good fight with my biggest fish of the year so far.. 4.89 Kg or 10 lb 12.4 oz. Lovely looking common carp.
Unfortunately that was the only take of the entire session/night. I discovered in the morning that my PVA bags had not been done correctly and fouled the rig so my own fault. Some stunning views though in the morning. These are shown below.
