Orchid Lakes Annual trip

Steve and I went on our annual jaunt to Orchid Lakes 12-13 November and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The result was predictable - Blank - but worth it.
We managed to solve the worlds troubles and still have time for a beer!!

Unfortunately we didnt get to catch one of the resident carp as they were playing hard to get. We tried everything from bottom baits to method feeder, maggots to pop ups and still we blanked. God knows what we have to do to catch a fish.

We set up in the rain - which wasn't forecast - and eventually we had our bivvies up and rods out. I spodded out boilies and steve tried boilies first and later he changed to maggots which he boated out. we had rigs out in the middle, margins, close in  trying to get a bite, but to no avail.

Not a lot more to say other than we may go again sometime
