Despite the warmish weather the carp were elusive to say the least,it took from 3.30pm until 5.50.pm to find any feeding carp,so after making my first cast at 5.55 I was well pleased when ten minutes later my freelined crust was slurped in by what turned out to be a stunning mirror of about 12lb.
At 5.25 I had packed the minimal gear in the car and was off to the meeting.
I enjoy this type of fishing far more than hauling numerous small carp allday.
So if you fancy something a little different,try a few hours on Cann Lane with a loaf of crusty bread.
Great place, great fun and the best way to catch them more fun than sitting behind Buzzers mate 
There not easily tempted to the crust or flake there you definitely have to work for them to catch them adds to the fun, but can be frustrating when carp just swim past your bait taking the free bee's instead 
Any pictures of your 12lb mirror Peter?
