Took my boys to a local pond , it was hard work having never really fished with a whip, two kids to watch/coach/and entertain. But it was successful and the youngest lost a tearaway carp early on so we fished the margin tight, catching bleak, gudgeon, bream, perch, roach and Rudd. Ending the day with a carp I hoped wouldsnap us off but standing ten foot back from the bank being strongly encouraged to land it by the kids .....a good day, off again tomorrow.
