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.
