Carp fishing at Eye Kettleby lakes Leicestershire (The return)

This is a short film of our five day trip to Eye kettleby lakes in Leicestershire.
Carp fishing was always going to be part of this trip although the possibility of the fish spawning was always at the back of my mind.
We arrived at the lakes at 1.15pm after a slight traffic delay and finished setting up the caravan at 2pm.
I went for a stroll around the parkland lake shortly after and it became evident almost immediately that the fish were spawning with just the odd glimpses of activity in some Reed beds. With this in mind I decided to check on the lake every morning and afternoon. One thing that struck me about the lake and the Carp stocks were the large quantities of small fish between 2- 5lb that I spotted cruising.
On checking the lake Wednesday afternoon it seemed that the spawning had come to an end so I decided to recheck Thursday and check with other knowledgeable anglers, it was all systems go for a short session before leaving the site Friday morning.
I'm so glad I got those 7 or so hours in on the bank.

Hi Steve, great to see you back out on the bank 2 stunning fish there bud, shame the spawning limited your bank time. Is SB baits linked to you or just coincidence 🎣🎣👏👏
