Premature Return To The Beds Pit.........

It's Saturday afternoon and I have just returned from yet another Saturday Shift at work. I called into the Syndicate on the way home hoping for the lake to miraculously be fishable, however I was sorely disappointed as a sheet of ice over an inch thick covers the whole expanse of water. Although it's now showing signs of being thinner in places I can see it being a while yet before I can grace it's banks.
Praying for Change......
It's been 4 weeks now since I've managed to get behind the rods and like every other Carp Angler in the country I have pulled the last few remaining hairs out of my head and worn a trench in the living room carpet as I pace up and down waiting for the thaw to begin.
However after a call to my mate "Pete" on Thursday, it appears all is not lost.......

Having mentioned about my dilemma and frustration Pete fully understood my needs to get out again, and being a seasoned Carper himself he is just as mad for it as I am.
It was whilst telling me about his recent Chubbing Session on the Ouse, when the Beds Pit was suddenly brought back into my head - "The Pit that never Freezes", how I had forgotten about it? I have no idea but foolishly I had.......a plan was soon hatched!
A Glorious Summers Morning on The Syndicate.....
Now the Beds Pit is a head banger at the best of times, hence why I pulled off for the winter but desperate times, desperate measures and all that! It does also have a track record of producing a few chunks in the colder months......
So the Plan is to head straight down to the Pit on Thursday Morning to do the night on its overgrown banks with Pete and hopefully Martin too, and with a bit of luck landing a unknown warrior on my 25th Birthday, but whatever happens I'm sure a good Birthday social will be had and I can be sure of a Bacon Roll with a candle in it on Friday Morning what ever happens!
So until then I shall bid you farewell and wish you the best of luck if you manage to find your own secret piece of wobbly water.....
