Simply lovely, Sir.

Lovely haul Stu. Would be a red letter day in the height of Summer let alone this time of year.

Superb SK :Hat:
Really like the second one - but they are all great carp.

Small pool ?

Thanks chaps.

Bout an acre or two, deep and clear. Float fished luncheon meat. Two took on the drop. Summer stalking tactics working this time of year!!
