17 for 1

I think early mornings are Carp'O-Clock on the Avon as yesterday evening it was like they had all disappeared. None showing on the surface and not even a line bite on the sleeper rod. I worked out I've spent 17 hours on the bank for one fish. It's a bit of a trek too, 1/2 a mile from the official car park.

I've seen quite a few pike whilst I've been here so going to give this stretch a go in the winter, it's deep, slow and ideal for trotting a deadbait under a float. What next, not sure might have another go at the Crucians at Snitterfield Reservoir or have a venture back to the Brook.
