Jack Sowdens Carp Fishing Blog

I was getting all excited about going to Newbridge Lake tomorrow. I have just unfortunately found out that Nick my mate who was going take me has to work!

I do not drive so I have to rely on other people to take me, the only other person who can give me a lift is Rachel, my girlfriend. However Burstwick would be to far for her to take me in the morning before work. However she will be able to drop me off at Barmston Farm, so it’s not all bad after all!

I could do with starting my driving lessons again, but I cannot see that happening whilst I am at University. It would be so handy if I could drive and it would sure give the opportunity to fish venues further afield.

I am going to try my hardest tomorrow and wont just fish into open water and wait for the runs. If the snaggy area of the lake is free I will get in there as I could see plenty of fish in this area last week. I will also be trying to get them feeding on the surface, which is normally pretty easy as long as there is not too much of a breeze.
