With another day free, I was off to the lake for a few hours. The weather conditions weren't brilliant, plus it was Friday and the weekend boys would be about. I planned to keep away from those swims and try something different. When I was here the other day, the carp arrived from around the corner, so this time I've positioned myself around that corner. Admittedly, the closest I can get is about 4 rod lengths away as there's a bed of lily pads in between. However, they were moving up from this end and not the other one. They appear to like the wind, which is a shame as it's still from the north and very much in my face. Ian is due down with his new bait boat at some point. He has a couple of options on either side of me or along the field bank, plus there's still a swim available at the far end.
