we used all the film up on those I went on to catch more that day
the lake was Cut mill Pond Farnham NOT to be confused with cuttle mill
the big problem was if you tried a bit of bread crust the ducks or gulls would be on it before the carp had any chance !
so I sat thinking about a solution then I thought if I was underwater looking up to a sunny sky anything on the surface would surely look black ?
so spoke to my fishing partner and said Brian can you source some edible black food colouring ? after we got some I made up a couple of red devil floater cakes with the black colouring they came out jet black so I sawed them up into 1 inch cubes
when the fish came up on the surface later that day I pulted half a dozen largish cubes the ducks and gulls did not recognise the black floating cubes as a food source but the carp DID ! my god they went mad for them so I tied a arlesey bomb weight to a 10" bit of line onto a swivel a ledger stop 6 inches from the hook wacked it into the centre of the lake fed out the line till the black cube popped up seconds later fish on landed it put it into the GPO hessian sack you see under the fish in the picture chucked out instant fish on the second it popped up and so it went went 5 fish were in the sack in no time took the pics using all the film up in the camera and did the same again magical times
