Was at white acres Cornwall last week and they where at it then

Somebody said to me as I was pulling of a lake can’t believe there spawning we won’t catch a carp here

Just looked at him and said can’t belive you set up on top of spawning fish and just walked off

Now seeing lots of lakes closed on social media because of spawning in the past few hours, right across the country.

Definitely has happened early this year!

I took this about 5am this morning..

They have started spawning here this morning.

Water temp has been +18c for a couple of days or more.

Merely the tip of the iceberg!

All setup and had a chance to test the new Deeper with my boat. Found two nice spots so set my traps. 12 acre lake, 38 swans and i was fishing in 3 foot of water so the swans were constantly diving over my baited areas and picking up my hookbait. Every time i reeled in, my pop-ups were half eaten.

10 p.m. i was attached to a very large cat for a few mins until the line snapped. 6 months old 16lb Fox Excocet. 20 mins later, I am landing a 20lb'ish cat. Well, didnt actually land it as i hate them but just flipped the hook in the net and let it go.

Saturday afternoon................Check my post below regarding exploding barrow wheel.

Saturday evening im into another massive cat but this time i have managed to wipe out the guy in the next swim down to me. I literally could not stop the thing. Spat the hook and managed to sort the lines out.

Moorhen running under my lines and setting off my alarms. This went on for 2 days.

Sunday morning...................Check my post below regarding exploding barrow wheel.

Also, somehow, one of the support poles had come away from the pegging point on my bivvy but managed to MacGyver it when i got home using one of the spare washers for my Triporter!

And when i did finally mnage to drag my barrow back to the car, my key wouldnt work. Luckily, i always take a spare so all was ok in the end.

Wont be going back there!

might be a 'sting' around the bank hol but weather apps not showing it!
