Yes the Carp are still feeding and Steve done very well for this time of year and his first trip to the water 
We bumped into other anglers on the return jorney and they had all blanked on etang 5 
the weather was quite bad, rain, snow and cold 
but there was still the odd fish showing, so they were moving around.
Here are a couple of the fish Steve had .....I was over the moon with the condition they where in
27 Common
32 Mirror
just look at the colours on this one.... Steves smallest just under 20 lbs
I think Steve had ten takes during the week Not to bad for Winter fishing
will leave you with a shot I took the last night of the trip.

It’s been a long time since I last checked in on the forum – Has anybody been to the lake recently? And does any one know how the lake is fishing? I thought that I might try to get down for a few days in the New Year (assuming the weather is reasonable).
I’ve just got back from a 5 day fishing trip in Texas on Lake Fork, just to the east of Dallas (had to use up some of my airline points that were about to expire) – it’s a big 20,000 acre lake. I was fishing with a friend from the “Lone star carp brigade” Jason Johonnesson, who runs http://www.texasbuffaloadventures.com/ (Ron, Jason says Hi) I caught a 32lb Buffalo and 10 commons ranging from 15lb to 25lb ( these US lake commons fight like fish twice their size) and numerous Chanel Cats. We fished from a deck built .on the roof of his boat house, which gives you a different perspective |

Nice one Steve good to see you got amongst them !!!
What was the winning method ??
That looks cold... what has happened to the weather this year, we seem to be paying the price for getting used to milder winters... i thought that winter didnt begin until March and it only snowed then 
Ron that photo is fantastic ! |
