Trip 39 Carp Fishing - When the snow came down. - Syndicate fishing 2024

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 much coming out over the past few days, it didn't look brilliant. The daylight hours are getting closer to 12 hours, I feel this is the magic moment for the carp, when they really start waking up and getting their heads down.

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 lot more favorable over the coming days.I was hoping to fish the same swim as before, but margin fishing when you are coughing like I am isn't going to catch carp. I felt a bit sorry for the other anglers on the lake, as there were quite a few, 6 or 7 of us.I was now looking for a swim that gave me a good 16 wrap out away from the coughing lunatic that I must be, coming out fishing.
