Last Gasp

I was back on my local hole in the ground yesterday. It felt like it had been ages! The corner near the enterance is not my favourite swim but when I arrived a warm wind was pushing the fish straight into that corner so I had no choice. I tried a zig rig, a pop up rig and plain old bottom baits and nothing seemed to be working. Eventually I had a screaming run on an S7 pop up which turned out to be a fin perfect mirror carp of less than 2 lb. Just as I about to call it a day and escape with a technical blank a gnarly little common of just under 10lb raced off with a bait positioned down the margin. Job done and I packed up and went home. A short session on the hottest day of the year could have been a lot worse.
