A carp sess

I had a proper out and out carp session today
on my local water now I'm not the best carp
angler in the world but can get by on what I know

The plan was to fish two rods both with air rigged boilies
hard on the bottom and this is how I got on

I had the place to myself  



with the wildlife keeping me company  





After a couple of hours one of my bait runners went screaming off



Which was this stunning common carp around 6lb  





I had to wait another hour or two before my next fish and it was worth the wait
a cracking 2lb+ perch  





I only caught 2 fish but I was more than happy with them both till next time tight lines    

Another nice read there Stevo.

The colour of your Perch reminds me of the surprise I had when Carp fishing a commercial water for the first time a few years ago, catching a Perch and not recognizing what it was given the very pale colouring and not all like the striped green camo ones I used to catch as a lad.

Just done a bit of googling to confirm that the ones in commercial waters do often look like that but for me they'll always look better in traditional "tiger stripe pattern" special forces camo.

Can't quite get my head around the idea of the bait not actually going on the hook either!

I've just spotted the added wildlife in the shots!
