Some interesting fishing if you target silvers it seems the carp move in later on to feed and bully the silvers out of the way,  George White from Morpeth targeted silvers on peg 25 and caught over 50lb before the carp took over and he had 18 carp on pole to add to his catch good days fishing but he got soken wet with the rain and his coat wasn’t waterproof .
