Wagglers and Whips

Decided to get the float rods out and head off coarse fishing today. Myself and my young companion had quite a productive day with a few mirror and common carp between us fished off a pellet waggler on a match rod by me and a body up pole float of a whip by the youngster.

This one took a couple of red maggots fished just off the bottom on a pole float.

A small carp that could have been mirror but it was only very sparsely marked with mirror scales.

Looks promising and putting up a good scrap.

Ready for the net.

Pristine specimen of a common carp with lovely big scales.

A nice common in the 8 - 10 lb range that took a red and white maggot fished quite close to the bottom off of a pellet waggler and a Daiwa match rod.
