29/4/16 The Carp Pond

A brief  trip with Dave to a small private pond in a local Sussex village. Float fished sweet corn was the chosen method and the lean, but powerful common carp it contained seemed to develop quite a taste for it.
After an all too a brief meeting with one that slipped the hook, I eventually managed to successfully land a couple of these Impressive looking fish ,and the fight was equally entertaining.
Although I'm by no means a fanatical carp angler I can appreciate the appeal of these fish and its my intention to hopefully, one day, catch one on a surface bait so watch this space.
