With fewer gardening jobs at this time of the year, I'm out on the club lake today in the hope of my first carp of 2022.
Conditions are certainly better than last week, until the middle of the week and there's another change in the weather due.
I arrived just before 9 am to find that I was the only person here. I stood on the path and looked directly up the lake for some time, I was hoping for a sign. I then had a look in a few swims the car park side, in the end I opted for the other bank; before the island and in the wider part of the lake. This was an area I had caught from before. I still haven't seen anything yet, however, this area is a good starting point.
