Somehow Brexit will be blamed for the demise of the German team, trust me. Ian

Bye bye germany

I use 15lb mono with a 50lb shockleader for spodding. In fact I use 'last years' mono which I wind off my fishing reel onto the spod reel, then tie on new shockleader. As for marker reel, I use the same type of reel for marker as I use for my fishing, admittedly a 7000 Beastmaster, but for years it was an old Shimano 4000 size baitrunner, same size as I used for fishing. That would be equivalent to a modern 6000 size baitrunner.

Cracking fun, great fishing and a sun tan! Booked three adjacent swims for the same week next year. Me, my son and nephew/godson, daft Sam. Just the 51 weeks to wait, then...……………. Ian

Gonna do another overnighter in between work tomorrow. Back on the bigger lake same as last week. Think I have worked out a patrol route of the carp. I fished about 30 yards from where the lake narrows and goes into a shallow bay where there is no fishing allowed. My first fish came at 1,30 am and the second at around 5, 30 am . I believe the 1st one was the carp moving out of the bay and the second was them going back into it. Gonna probably go back to the same area tomorrow unless the fish tell me other wise.
