    Arrived late afternoon for a session with blingy, weather was better than my previous session with a warmer wind and a few sunny spells.

    I have 4 or 5 syndicates / memberships within reach which all have good lakes and stocks but they can get very busy at the times I can fish them and being busy places, have lots of pressure.

    Arrived on the Thursday around 1.30pm,the Paul who i was fishing with for the duration of the session had already been there for 4 hours and saved me the peg next to him as we were doing some filming for the first installment of carpfevertv.

    I got myself setup in the peg, rods out, 2 on the running rig, 1 on the multi rig, i have only used this rig twice due to mixed success on the chod rig last year, so will be giving this a good go over the coming year.

    My running ...
