The Local Lake Gets It's First Go

This lake, called Coombe Fisheries, was very pretty and more like two big ponds. But you could see dozens of huge carp sunbathing all over the lake, but none of them were interested in my bait.

First Trip To The Cornish Countryside

Well, a historic moment for me. After six months of moving house, job hunting and other related stress, I am finally at a Cornish fishing lake, with a job, and my sanity intact. Today I was at Trewandra Fishing Lake, stunning and about 2 acres in size.

Lovely Autumn Day Of Sunshine And No Wind

As the title says really. It was a foggy start, and never really got as warm as they said it would get, but other than that an amazing day. There were loads of bubbles from feeding fish when i arrived, but this did not translate into bites.

Everything Went Wrong Today

As the title really. Couldn't get to my favourite spot so I tried another swim, not been to before. Wish I hadn't, as I had no action all day.

First Taste Of Autumn

It definitely felt autumnal today, but the sun came out, and although it was great fishing, it was a lovely relaxing afternoon.

Good Start But It All Went Pete Tong

Today was warm and humid when I arrived, so of course by 4pm I was in my cosy winter hoodie. Things started so well, and the carp were obviously active, but a series of bad decisions made me waste a good opportunity to bag up.
