Well welcome back. This is episode 16 of the cart fishing podcast.

Yeah and it's coming into that strange time of the year. I say strange because December has never been a great month for cartfish in my experience but the ones that do come out tend to be good and so well worth getting

out there Mike yeah well keep on keeping on and I suppose it's a perfect

opportunity to set the scene in that I am fishing you are yeah and despite you

telling me it's actually gonna be shit I I'm keeping on keeping on yeah it's always

a chance in there and there's no one here, is there?

You're the only one on the fishing lake.

There's a lot of big fish out there, so yeah, mate, you always got a chance, aren't you?

Yeah, mate, the leaf matter's all falling.

It looks really, really wintery now.

I love this time of year there, Mark.

You speak about it quite often, don't you?

This is the time when you get a bit of free time but when you look around the lake now like there is nobody here

all the trees are lovely that burnt orangey kind of yellow glow to them and i don't know you know

sometimes when you do get that bite if you're lucky enough to get one and then and it's a nice carp

and i don't know they do feel hard won don't

they do yeah yeah definitely this time of year and they're typically at their best weights

aren't they absolutely pretty much yeah best weights looking absolutely lovely so yeah mate more

power to you hopefully yeah who knows mate rod's right one could go out one could go off never

know mate you never know i've been picked up by a couple of birds but is it okay to start this podcast by giving you a public telling off because i nearly

pushed you in a minute ago why oh yeah yeah i did uh i sneaked up to mike's bivie and he was

let's say just taking a little bit of a siesta because he fished last night so you were a bit
