p a rtly frozen net. It turned o u t
t o be a lovely mirror carp, a n d
e v en though we were ti r e d
a n d cold, that mo ment f e l t
r e ally special because I g o t to
h e lp Dad land the fish in t h e
m i ddle of the night. Mo m e n t s
l i k e that are what fish ing t r i p s
a r e really about.
Looking back at the whole
session, it had everything.
Sunshine, rain, storms and
freezing cold mornings. My first
ever 30lb carp. Dad catching a
new PB and naming a brand new
Pads fish called Rose. Michael
landing his 35.2lb PB common.
And even helping Dad land a
fish in the freezing dark at 3am
on the final morning. Fishing
trips like this are about much
more than just catching fish.
They’re about the memories
you create, the excitement
when the alarms sound, and
the special moments you share
with the people around you.
For me, catching my first 30lb
carp from Yateley Pads Lake is
something I will never forget.
And I already can’t wait to go
back.
