Me personally I'm in favour of regular recasting (every 3 or 4 hours) especially if i think I've got fish in my swim Call it paranoia but I worry about my rig not resetting proper after being moved and woken ive up in the morning to a baitless hook more than a few times. I started doing this on a very hard water where 20 fish a year is major result and did see an increase in runs I'd rather risk spooking a few fish on a recast than sitting on rods that have no chance of getting a run at all

Yes B.C. I tend to agree with you......I really debated whether to re-do it or not (as an aside, I ruled out a move since; a) I’d not seen anything particular to move on and b) its a v.tricky water and a quiet night is not unusual). My default position is to recast but I am beginning to question myself, hence the post. I’m aware that Rainbow anglers often leave baits in position for several days at a time in what is a very pressured environment. As a counter point, I’ve often received a take quite quickly after a recast when I’ve thought I should have had action. Its a proper head scratcher at times, this fishing lark😬🤣

I cover Wigan as well. Got a few shops up that way.

Just had too...🤣

And there's me thinking you were hard core (or just plain nuts)……. As Uncle Albert said in Only Fools, " It was so cold, the flame on my lighter froze"...…. Now that's cold lol...

Bait prep for tomorrow nights/Saturday session got a little messy, syrup /pellets/flake/ and sweet corn juice nearly up to my elbow.

Got a rod out for an hour this evening but no joy , hopefully get a bit longer on Saturday 🤞

Having a look at a couple of waters sometime before Sunday.... Reduction in ticket prices at this time of year (if there are any left) and with recent Winters being fairly mild for the most part, I think you can get a bit of value in Winter tickets these days.... Least ways, either place has got to be better than the last debacle I joined...…. Both about 1hr away on a clear run. Wanting to make a day of it really, if I can free up enough time. Good 3 to 4 hours wandering the banks on each and hopefully a quick chat with anyone fishing...…. Fingers crossed for a new water...🙂
