I did it! 😱🎣 My 2nd session at the res and one that was full of anticipation. My first session here was an expected blank, at 200 acres the res is not a place you can rock up for a few nights and expect to catch carp. This time I was going back with a fully prepped swim and a huge storm system bringing big warm winds from the south. I’d been pre baiting for 2 weeks now every 3-4 days making the 3hour round trip to keep the bait going in. The storm was due in on my 2nd night and for mid December temperatures were up in the double figures. I arrived down to the lake about 1pm and managed to get the rods out just as it got dark. The first night went by without event but as the wind started to switch around the next morning I could feel the temperature start to rise rapidly. The daylight hours were quick to disappear and as darkness descended the storm moved in. The wind and rain was brutal and the sound of the trees snapping through the narrow valley was haunting. It was just after 2am...
