There's a lesson to be learned right there bud - If you've had what you believe to be inquiries on a given spot and you're not 100% sure what the bottom's like, always find out at the end of the session. All it takes is a couple of casts with a bare lead - and you're one up in preparation for your next sesh! I'd say I do more marking at the end of sessions than I do at the start. I agree that on 'proper' waters marking up can spook the carp - therefore if I can get a drop and I know I'm on fish it's good enough for me - but I never walk away without having a quick chuck to determine the substrate.

I agree with every one of the pro-running set up posters for all the reasons They've mentioned . I try to use as light a lead as possible usually 1.5 Oz or lighter I see what Philip means by needing a heavier lead to keep the lead still on the take but I would just like to say that , on the take , a light lead bumps along the lake bed to a degree , helping with the hooking process and negating the need to actually physically strike . It's something I picked up on from reading Moorsey's posts on here from a few years back , he's a strong believer in Running set ups with slack lines and , Gagna , you could do a lot worse than search some of his posts on here mate . Imo Keith Moors = top angler . I could be wrong but I even recall him posting about confidentially using running rigs in weed . I shall be searching for that one myself now lol

Oh yes I will let you know if I get to skip church and go on a Sunday

I'll have to see how it goes re the Polaris, I do like watching a float, but I'd do the same and probably miss bites!

Crusian - I ask myself the question of how I ended up married to a Christan quite often! I'm sure she pretended to be normal until we were married
