Trip 10 Carp Fishing – 2023

2023/05/02

Firstly, I must thank my wife and kids for letting me out during the last few days of their Easter holidays. It’s week fifteen of the year and I’ve just only starting trip 10. I try to average 1 trip a week but this year hasn’t gotten off to a great start. We still have 37 weeks to go, so I better not write this year off just yet! After my last trip, which really proved the carp really aren’t feeding heavily in open water yet. It was time to find an area where I felt the carp wouldn’t be too far

I'm back out after spending a week at home on 3 x 500mgs of antibiotics each day! Hopefully, this has finally kicked into touch my never end bouts of illness, I'm not 100%, but I feel 80% better than I was on my last trip. I checked in with Ian on Tuesday about the weather and where would be a favorable area. With the wind blowing from the Northerly direction and the lack of sunshine, which would, unfortunately, vanish after the first day. We came up with a fair few options, and with not

The wife and kids are in Ireland to visit family, so I have the opportunity for a few nights fishing. Unfortunately, the ever lasting cough has reared its ugly head again since my last trip out. My youngest was also starting to show signs of her having it before I headed off last week. I was hoping to avoid it, but alas, it’s back, I’m still planning to come this week. I’m hoping it’s on its way out and once I’m pitched up, I can just relax and rest. Plus the weather has turned a lot warmer and a

I’m back down the lake a lot earlier than I had planned, my normal Tuesday job was cancelled, so it was an opportunity to get back down the lake. The conditions were not all that favorable, with a drop in the air pressure for a day or two, it’s not much of a drop, mind you, but it could make all the difference. There’s a change in the wind direction, blowing from various easterly points. With no option to fish at the weekend and the longer sunny days, it is worth a try. --- Send in a voice

I arrived at the lake a lot later than planned, my youngest was off school due to the teacher’s strike. Only to find that I was only really left with one option for a swim unless I fancy setting up and moving the next morning or going home and coming back again. This option wasn’t very practical, alternatively setting up in a swim which didn’t feel right. The choice was made and for the first time, in a long time I waited for a swim to become free, this is something I don’t really tend to do

I headed off, at about 07.30 hours this morning, to the Airfield Lake and spent an hour looking about. I even set up my bivvy in one of the swims, but it just didn’t feel right to me. It wasn’t looking carpy at all. With the bivvy down and back in the car, I was soon at Meadow Lake. It’s no more than a couple of miles away by road. I was shocked to find myself only the second person there. This did cheer me up. I’d originally planned on arriving Wednesdays over the winter period, as there isn’t a

After last week’s heavy rain, the Avon Valley is in full flood. With so much going in the lake, it’s going to be another hard few nights of fishing. Along with the fact that the night temperatures dropped to -5c and all the standing water froze and made driving conditions horrendous for the past 4 days. I struggled to get to the lake, avoiding flooded roads and closures, along with road works for burst pipes. --- Send in a voice message:

After a non-fishing weekend last week, which ended up with a monster loft clear-out and a full car of stuff for the tip. It was absolutely stuffed full, including 4 old TV sets! It’s amazing really how much rubbish you accumulated over the years. I also feel a few bits of fishing tackle going on ebay soon. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/richard-handel/message

Finally, back out on the bank, I’m still not 100%, and a day later than planned! I just need to blow those cobwebs away (as my granny would say) and shake off this thing that’s been going around once and for all. I’ve had a minefield of problems with my health, since catching covid for the first time, last October, along with my youngest daughter. We just can’t completely get rid of it and that’s the reason I was a day late, she was not very well again this week, resulting in Thursday off

Things were certainly all coming together as they sometimes do with fishing, the momentum just keeps building. We both couldn’t make the second to last weekend, due to family stuff and weren’t sure if both of us could make the last weekend at the end of October. So, we just treated each trip as our last one. I wasn’t due to arrive until Friday morning, but with the carp coming out mostly at night, it was worth setting up in the dark on Thursday evening. I couldn’t arrive any earlier due to family

Hook Sharpening

Fishing Tales And Stories ·

2023/03/13

I’ve been asked a lot of times about hook sharpening and the pros and cons of it. As I don’t like spending money on numerous packs of hooks, I find it the best place to save and use the best of both options without taking it too far. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/richard-handel/message

I didn’t ever think I was getting out again this year. What with covid, a sick child, who gave the illness to me (which is still hanging around), and now an extremely cold snap. It was now or never as the Christmas holidays are just around the corner. I’d planned a social with a few syndicate members, however, a couple were not as crazy as me and Steve. I just had to get out as I think I would have got cable fever sooner or later. We did spend a few hours muller it over on Monday, Steve took a trip

I’m getting back into the swing of things again. A few motivational issues this week, and lots going on in my head as well. As there’s a heavy band of rain pushing by today, and you are never really sure when it will arrive these days, the weatherman isn’t that accurate anymore. I was up early and down the lake by 8am. I already knew how many were here fishing last night, so it was going to be down to how many day anglers or really keen night anglers – like myself, as to where I pitch up. ---

I’ve finally made it back down the lake, certainly a few weeks later than I hoped for. I completely missed the end of the session on Airfield Lake. All thanks to the dreaded Covid. Covid, put me out of action for a good few weeks, mucking up my plans for the build-up to my winter campaign on Meadow Lake. It’s now Thursday the 17th November and with a minor issue with having to collect a sick child from school. I did make it down the lake in time to set up and get the rods out before dark. I’d

This session, I’m in Suffolk fishing at West Stow County park, it’s a social with my oldest friend Mr Rob Nunn. It’s been a year since our last trip, around the same time it is half term week. The drive up was pretty shocking due to the bad weather – heavy rain, and thunderstorms all the way. I left home earlier than I had planned, as I was woken up by the thunderstorm. This did help in a way, I set off earlier than planned, which would help me. I was going to have to be driving through yet more
