Fishing Tales And Stories

Trip 23 Carp Fishing - 2026This week I was supposed to be fishing Airfield Lake, but something told me to take one last look at Meadow on the way through. The lake looked right, the weather conditions were spot on, and my favourite swim was available, so the decision was made. Armed with a mix of Nutrabaits Big Fish Mix, Jurassic Particles and the new EnerGize Corkie Wafters, confidence was high. Carp were showing, the conditions looked perfect, but would my instincts pay off? Join me for another honest session on the bank where hope is always the last thing to leave.

Trip 13 Carp FishingWelcome back to another fishing adventure. The clock is ticking on Meadow Lake, and with just two nights left before closure, I set out to make it count. Faced with brutal high pressure, cold northerly winds, and a lake that had all but switched off, this was never going to be easy. With a simple but proven baiting approach and plenty of watercraft, it became a test of patience, decision-making, and belief. Would a last-minute bite save the session, or was this one destined to be a blank? Join me as I grind it out to the very end.Tight lines and be lucky!

Trip 18 Carp Fishing - 2026Welcome back to another fishing adventure. Three nights on Airfield Lake in tricky, easterly conditions — persistence, baiting strategy, and a last-minute move paid off with a stunning 31lb 1oz common. A proper insight into adapting on the bank, reading the water, and learning a new swim.

Trip 19 Carp Fishing - 2026Welcome back to another fishing adventure. Another challenging session down on Airfield Lake with cold northerly winds, dropping temperatures, and still no signs of spawning carp. Despite tough conditions, a change of approach with EnerGize hookbaits, particle mixes, and small PVA mesh bags produced a hard-fighting 25lb 13oz common during the first night. In this session, I talk through swim choices, adapting to fish movement, margin tactics, and the importance of learning a swim properly when the carp aren’t playing ball.Tight lines and be lucky!

Welcome back to another fishing adventure. A tough few days on Airfield Lake battling cold westerly winds, dropping temperatures, and carp clearly holding off before the spawn. Despite careful swim selection, a strong baiting approach with Co-De soaked boilies, and constant tweaks throughout the session, the bites just didn’t come. Sometimes you can do everything right and still come up short — but that’s fishing. A session full of lessons, patience, and appreciation for being out on the bank.Tight lines and be lucky!
