Sunday lunchtime saw me and aaron at the wallington near staples in Fareham and we were quite excited due to the fact that the previous day we had seen a good group of fish at the base of a tree in around 18" of water,and we had also witnessed a bass of mammoth proportions further down stream and also a huge shoal of mullet! spoilt for choice we thought .ha,as if!
we opted to fish near the car where the wall was lowest to start, but after about 25 minutes we moved down stream about 50m where we encountered a group of about 10 mullet and around 5 old carp,not monsters but a river carp no less.I opted for my standard tried and tested bread approach ,but i gave Aaron a cooked prawn much to his bewilderment.
we kept flicking the baits in and out of the shoal and i pulled out of a fish after around 5 minutes.After i wound in to rebait i had a little wander back up in the direction from whence we came, when i heard a shout from Aaron,along the lines of " dad i got one" or a very similar version!
An epic battle ensued and after quite a tussle,AJ had banked his first ever river carp ,to say we were pleased was an understatement,the fish were very wary after this and it attracted a bit of a crowd,even a passer by in a car stopped for a natter!!
Aaron showing me how its done at the moment,but i couldnt be happier or prouder of him.
cant wait for our next trip out...........
