I fished for years and never had a 20lb carp, so bought the bivvy and all the trimmings and set about it. Managed 3 topped by a 24lb 4oz common, but the best part of the trip was as the sun was going down I'd pop open a bottle of red and sit there watching the bats taking the mosquitos... good times. Used to do 3 days at a time so, 3 bottles :laugh:
Sounds like bliss mate well done on the carp my best around 15 lbs but enjoy trying and just been there at side of pond middle of night nothing better for a summer night
