Last minute fishing trip with Alex to celebrate my birthday. Contrary to my belief that last minute trips are a bad idea, this was best visit to Brooms yet. Fished SE corner of Bruce's acre. Warm day, very slight westerly wind. Catching a chub first cast, I feared we'd be plagued by smaller fish but after that the carp were virtually climbing up the pole.
Must have had nearly 30 (lost count) plus four chub and a decent skimmer. Most were small commons but also had three decent mirrors and one common that were over 5lb and some tremendous fights. All fish on double sweetcorn glugged in honey fished just on bottom, which must be the first time at Brooms I've caught all fish on the same bait.
Only one carp seemed to be a definite F1, strengthening our belief that John (owner) moves fish round a lot. He probably sells the really large ones.
