Autumn Greetings

Dear readers,

It's been a while since I last wrote a blog. I have still been quite busy fishing for carp and spending time with other things I love. I have had hard time finding the time to write. Life is full of choices, and sometimes spending a few hours in front of a laptop might not be your cup of tea when alternatives are more tempting. Anyway, on with the story.

This season has been quite good with its ups and downs - some blanking and some good nights. Just as it should be. At one point I was quite fed up with catching carp every night and happy that I had a blank night quite soon after that. As I previously mentioned, blanking is an essential part of carp angling. If you are not blanking, you are fishing in waters that are way too easy. And carp angling shouldn't be too easy.

Tonight temperature will probably reach zero Celsius degrees... Winter is coming fast. Yet there is still enough time for some great autumn carping. Last trip me and my brothers had a good session with one of us banking two carp, including a personal best. I hope I have the time and the energy to go chase some autumn carp.

An autumn carp has just been netted and the net is disassembled for lifting.
