The forecast was for a strong breeze so I decided to fish on the bottom lake which had a bit of shelter. Just as well as all the pegs were taken on the best match lake. First fish was a bream which I haven't caught for a while. I missed a lot of bites so switched to lighter tackle and started to caught some roach.
It was getting very gusty so I had decided give up. Although I hadn't seen any sign of carp in the margins I put a chunk of luncheon meat on my roach tackle and made a final cast close to some rushes about 10ft away. I wasn't paying much attention until my rod started to disappear over the front of the stand. Just managed to grab it and eventually landed a very lively carp of about 5lb on a size 20 hook to 2lb terminal tackle. That was an interetsting end to a relaxing day on the lake.
What was to follow was not so good. We were looking forward to a nice meal in the 5* restaurant and wandered over at 7:00 only to be told that as we had not booked they could not accomodate us. The place which has 100 seats was almost empty but apparently only one person in the kitchen so we had had it so to speak. Very disaapointing. We did not have a plan B, it was our last night away and no meal in reserve. Rosemary managed to russle up some beans and cheese so we did not starve.
