I spent most of yesterday morning waiting for my wife to get up... Noon came and she still hadn't surfaced (her sleeping patterns are out of whack), so i grabbed my gear and headed down to my carp hole. I had a good scan around once there to see what was happening and there were quite a few cruising on the surface so i set up my gear and burlyed a bit with both sinking and floating burley... they just werent interested in the burly at all, in fact they werent feeding at all...
from here on it was corn, no weight and sight fishing. after 2 hours i saw a dark shape cruising the shallows just a few mtrs in front of me and cast in frnt of it. my bait disappeared, i struck and set the hook. the reel screamed for only 3 meters as the fish came up to the surface and seemed to look at me before steaming off towards a fallen tree. I did all I could to stop the bugger but it busted off... I didnt stand a chance on my 2kg gear, it would easily have been a pb
I stayed on till 4.30 but with no hits, in fact after 2.30 all the fish seemed to disappear... this is weirding me out a little.
