i had wanted to fish one of the piers this morning but they were full when i got there
, my plan b of fishing to the left of the cafe bank was also snookered as a couple of lads with rods on pods was fishing it 
so reverted to plan c...fish the little lake, it was a little bit low to be honest but it was this or go home
fished half way down the back opposite the sunken tree , i was going to sit on the tip using a cage feeder and cat meat on the hook but as my hand went in my holdall i pulled out the pole
fished at 9 meters and put a pot of pellet/cat meat in to start...
i started on pellet and was rewarded with plenty of bites from the off but they were obviously from the little skimmers that are all over the lake at the moment( those bream must of been breeding like me as its choker with the bait robbing 50p sized little gits
)i changed over to cat meat and i was getting the same infuriating bites, the float was all over the place, after half an hour of this ithe float dipped again but this time the 12/20 elastic shot out of the pole tip at a rate of knots, a good fight resulted in a common of about 10lb
i was hopefull of a couple more but sadly this was the only carp of the day
,in retrospect i should of chucked a feeder out but its not my favorite style of fishing, so i stuck with the pole,also if i had remembered the maggots from the fridge i would of scaled right down and targeted the skimmers i only lasted till 2pm when i coudnt be bothered any more, roll on tommorow nights sea fishing
by the way brian, you must of been unluckly on monday, no lambrini bottles,motorbikes or psycho's spotted today
