Arren’s Lake.Essex.
Hawthorne AC club match.
A lovely warm summers day
promised a decent days sport on this rural Essex venue noted for it’s winter time bags of Rudd & Roach, however at this time of year the Carp enter the equation, and if they aren’t in your swim you ain’t going to win
.
I drew peg 19 and they weren’t there !!!!!!!
However fishing a power top 2 with a no12 elastic (just in case Mr Carp decided to put in an appearance) a busy time was had with the small Rudd that refused to be fed off.
Averaging about 1oz apiece they kept coming at intervals all day, and come the final whistle, they rolled the scales around to record a weight of 32lbs 12ozs. Only good enough for 10th on the day but a pleasant days fishing all the same.
