Ghosts in the night!

Took the opportunity this weekend to take our 9yr old on his first experience of night fishing. And thank god he didnt have to watch a motionless rod during the time spent there...!

Only 3 fish graced the net during the late afternoon and evening session but all where good quality fish, 19lb 4oz & 19lb 8oz mirrors capped of with this stunning (believe me the pic doesnt do it justice!!) ghost carp at 20lb 10oz... (not the biggest in the lake - but one of the best looking!)

Many times I have seen them during the summer months leading the pack as they swim around the lake with the group behind them... not remotely interested in any baits - thankfully this evening was different.

Last word - Stunning!

Sounds like a cracking 15 days Nick...!! Imagine what could have been if you had used carp bait ;)
(Looks like I will be getting some more bait then... :( )
