Sunday lunch time all three of us set off to the Manderson Trust lakes to fish for a day.
Julz and Michael were both fishing pure carp tactics behind their buzzers and I put out a carp rod and was fishing the pole.
All afternoon we caught nothing but as evening started coming on Julz caught the first fish a lovely common of 6lb 1oz

Less than an hour later she had another common of 6lb 12oz

And shortly after a mirror of 7lb 6oz

Just as we were getting ready to stop fishing (yes we are wimps and din't want to fish through the night) my bite idicator started moving, just nodding up and down by an inch not enough to set off the alarm, so I thought 'typical bream bite' so lifted the rod into something that was most certainally not a bream.
This was the result

15lb 6oz and a new PB
The fishing was terribly hard today and no carp were caught and I only managed half a dozen small roach on the pole.
Both Julz and I felt a bit sorry for Michael he tried his best changing rigs etc to suit the conditions but didn't manage a fish, hopefully next time.
PS It is me holding Julz's fish as she was sitting on a concrete swim and can't get down to hold the fish over a mat, after all fish care comes first
