did as i was told yesterday morning,so she let me out to fish in the afternoon!!popped down to my beloved docks,and fished my favourite peg 16 2 hours and 1 small perch later,i decided to move upto peg 26,which id had the previous thursday night.balled in four balls of brown crumb,half a bag of old pidgeon sh*t,and some old gs90 bait tech stuff.well better than binning it!! first fish came at 10 metres out,about 15 mins later,a small perch. next put in, another one,then a 8 oz roach,then i hooked a loony tune!! my size 8 black preston elastic,just screamed out,and i did really well to control the fish,and after another couple of hairy moments,i netted a clonking great mullet of about 2 pound!! well i popped it into my net,and put on two more red maggots and went back out.whack!! my elastic fizzed out again,and i thought"jeez,not another mullet!",but this was no mullet,as this thing was big,and my elastic bottomed out.i just sat there with about 4 metres of pole under the water,waiting for my 0.10 hook length to snap.but no!! it started to come to me,and after about 10 mins,i saw a bloody huge mirror carp ,and i thought,"shit,thats a big double!!!",another five mins of careful playing and the fish was getting a little more tired,as i was too! then it came to the surface,and really dived down hard,and ping!!!my heart sank,but i didnt really think i was going to land that munter,but it wasn't till i looked at my hook,that all became apparent.my b511 size 18,was almost fully straight!!! i re tied another,and caught a few more roach and skimmers,but that carp will always haunt me!!
1st time for me!!
