While sipping my first brew of the day in the bivvy, I witnessed a substantial fish rolling not far from my baited spot, a sign that bolstered my confidence in the potential presence of a sizable catch in this part of the lake. Throughout the day, the wind's unpredictable course added an element of challenge, eventually settling in the North West for the final 24 hours of my stay.

Observing more fish in front of me, I contemplated adjusting the position of my margin rod, considering a move for the upcoming night. A carp topping further confirmed the need to reposition the left-hand rod into open water. I decided to shift the other rod by half a wrap to the back of my baited area, strategically hoping to target the larger carp first.
