Cyprinus compact bivvy review! A real bargain!

Спорт

Cyprinus compact bivvy review, a quick look at the bivvy i recently purchased.
Its a clip from my recent vlog on Deepings 1 syndicate two weeks ago.
Check out my other carp fishing blogs if you want.
Chasing big carp, carp fishing Les Marsh.
My vlogs are mostly based on my adventures traveling down South chasing big carp, as i live in the North East of England.
every session down South usually involves a journey of just under three hours on a good run.
But, i've done this for years now, it's really paid off, so hopefully i'll keep on doing it for the fore see able future.
As i just love catching big carp.
