Dear readers,
It's been a while since I last wrote. Sometimes it's quite hard to get your ideas together to write about something new or even remotely interesting. This blog has been running now for about 3 years now if I remember correctly. Sometimes it is just normal to have a small pause in writing.
I was fishing my new spot, and was happy to get a run in the middle of the night. I took my right hand rod and I played the fish closer to the net. What surprised me was that my left hand rod alarm started to go off like crazy. I thought for a second that I somehow got this fish tangled into the other line. After that one short second, I realized that I had another fish on the other rod.
So I netted the first carp quickly and took the left-hand rod and started playing the second fish. Luckily, I managed to land the carp into the same landing net, where the first carp was waiting for company :) I can honestly say that the situation was really much easier to handle with my Fastwater 9'6" rods, which are powerful, but really easy to use in tight natural swims.
After some trickery, I managed to take photographs and release the carp back into their watery haunt. Didn't get any more runs that night. I guess sometimes the feeding periods can be very short and savage.
