Went up to Borwick for a days fishing on Tuesday, arrived at 10 am, spoke to Jimmy the baillif who informed me and my mate that pool one was closed due to a mysterious fish virus.
Opted to fish pool 4 which has carp up to 3lb, and the added bonus of being able to park up right behind my peg.
The wind was horrendous, so i set up my feeder rod and after 10 mins or so was into my first carp of the day about 12oz.
Continued to catch a fish a chuck and then noticed my mate had been sneaky and fed an inside line at 4mtrs and was catching even faster than i was.
After a nano second i was scrambling up the bank to my holdall and took my pole out (oh er missus) Set up to fish at 5mtrs and had a depth of about 7ft, fed pellet with expander on the hook, and caught all day.
Absolutely brilliant considering the weather. Would recommend the trip.
