Claire Catches A Carp At the Lake by Her Home.

My son, Lloyd caught a fine carp in a previous blog at the lake close to their home. This wonderful lake is on their doorstep and both Lloyd and his wife Claire love carp fishing. Also, their five children enjoy the lake too. The eldest son Floyd is getting into the habit of carp fishing and is enjoying the lake immensely. 

Last night, Claire decided to give the lake ago for carp and she managed to land this fine specimen. It is a beautiful Common Carp with a dark top running along the spine and fading towards the golden scales lower down the fine fish's scales.

It looks as though Claire's fishing is going very well at the moment and she has managed to get herself in a couple of the national fishing magazines on several occasions over the last year.

Lloyd is Showing off A Big One.

My eldest son, Lloyd stayed out late at the lake close to his home. He loves the lake and so does his wife Claire. They are always sneaking off over the lake to pursue their joy of fishing. All of their kids are jumping on the band waggon too. They can often be seen with them. 

Last night Lloyd decided to stay for an hour or two longer when dusk came. He was rewarded for his patience with this Common Carp. With the other fish caught during the daylight hours, Lloyd's little venture out to the lake proved to be a very eventful day's fishing.




    

Floyd's First Pike Fish.

Floyd and Lloyd went over the Star Lane Fishing lake in Great Wakering, Essex. It was Sunday and my son, Lloyd had gone back home from my house after doing some pike fishing along the rivers of March in Cambridgeshire. He got the taste for pike fishing, even though he is more of a carp man. 

He told me he would take Floyd over the Star Lane lake when he got home as the youngster is getting a taste for fishing. So has Lloyd's wife Claire. Soon, I can visualise the whole family going fishing. Lloyd and Claire and all the five children. 

Floyd caught this pike within the first few moments of arriving. It set him up nicely for the day. There were other fish too, but I think Floyd was pleased most by his first pike. :D
