I have been very short of free time so far this year and being the type of person who simply ‘HAS TO FISH’ I have had to content myself with very short sessions of just 2 hours or less.  These past couple of weeks I have been rewarded with several carp for my efforts and having just taken a few days off for my birthday I actually managed to squeeze in a full afternoon session!

After fishing a swim for a couple of hours and spotting fish showing elsewhere I quickly moved and soon found myself bent into what felt like a real good fish on my soft rods and small reels I like to use whilst fishing the local venues.

After an incredible fight I eventually found myself peering into the mesh at a gorgeous looking common. The scales read 33lb and the bait it couldn’t refuse was the new Chilli Chocolate boilie which has produced all of my fish so far this year.

What better birthday present could a fishing starved man ask for?
