Had this little fella looking for a cheap brekky this morning

Had an eventful night... I took my 7 year old son. We had a nice afternoon, burgers, little fire in a bbq to roast marshmallows. He was sick at some point, so at midnight when the pike rod went screaming off, I had a little extra in my sliders!!! Nice scrappy pike, launched itself out of the water a couple of times. Had fun & games disgorging the trebles, he did not like my long forceps in his mouth. I thought it best to recover & release him. I'd say he was a mid double. Usual interference from the swans & tufftys this morning, but sadly no carp.

Went out yesterday for a Perch or two... caught about a dozen, none bigger than my hand... gave my newly rebuilt Allcocks Wizard a christening along with a Young's Ambidex... floatfished maggot and worm... nowt big but good fun anyway... Happy New Year to all on the Carp Forum

Well...today was last 2018 trip...blanet blank...lost 1 fish.. 3 mates had fish Mate 1 had 11lb 5oz..Mate 2 had a 10lb 3oz..Mate 3 had 2 fish 17lb 2oz & 18lb 4oz.

Nothing yet mate

At least your sliders were warm lol

Probably not going to get out carping for a while but doing plenty of spinning with a mate, we're not good at it but it's good fun anyway lol

Out today, 1st time in ages. Water level back to "normal" and a few new fish put in over the last few weeks. Fingers crossed.

I've got the green light for an overnighter tomorrow! Due to financial reasons I won't be renewing this ticket next season, so I've got a couple of trips to to try & hook one of my target commons. Any suggestions to maximise my chances on a quick overnighter?? As I'm writing, I'm already kicking myself for not having brought some maggot!! Eerrrggghhhhh!

No Pies in sight today....6 cheese n ham toasties n about 20 brews though 🤣🤣

I managed around 15 perch at the weekend in 4 hours fishing. Biggest probably pushing 2lb but a very good average size around the 1lb Mark. 2 guys fishing opposite were using live baits and had some crackers. One of them looked absolutely huge from where I was and actually heard him say the weight , 3lb 10oz. I walked around at the end to have a little chat and they said there biggest was only 2lb 2oz. Obviously trying to hold a bit of info back.

Stay warm, have fun, and good luck.
