Just heard off my mate .... He's got a 49 in the net , ended up in his pants out in the lillies to land it in the dark 😁 that will teach him to have me on April fools day 😂

Funny I did make that change yesterday evening mate after sitting/ watching & trying to work out where they might want to be .... the weather was due to change over night. Wet & cold windy NE , I baited up down my left margin where it will be sheltered from it . Did me a take too but I lost it after a short battle with it in the lillies !!! Nearly got it right !!! . They definitely seem to have moved off from where I had them from though , so more thinking needed today , just waiting for the sun to come up & see what today brings .already on my second brew proper carp pile if tbags building up 😁

Decided to drink & bosh pain killers & get on with it 😇 . Had a re think on the swim moved things about . Put two rods tight on the spot that's done me fish . One rod on the margin spot I lost one from last night . And set up a forth on a spot to my left that I've been baiting since Saturday but not had any joy from , one of those where you just to have a rod on just in case now.... you know what I mean . On an upside my arm feels better 😂 Thanks for all the encouragement & banter lads. Feels like the c.com of yesteryear 😎

Can you get hold of a hot water bottle?. Dont get me wrong i love tramadol but it only masks and could make it worse if you over do it.

I was shown this knot about 4 years ago. 50lb shock leader. Job done! 😉

Already has dropped massively mate ... really cold here today & wet which could turn to snow , hailed in the night , got drenched playing that one I lost. Is looking like two very different half werk sessions. We are off to the super market after breakfast so thinking cap firmly on buddy .

Might be worth seeking out the deeper water Phil, temps are due to drop over the coming days.

Go with your gut chilly, you've done alright so far fella

You know what lads, I gave it some time , what it did do is convince me the fish had moved away , so my gut was telling me to reel in and give the spot a rest. So had a walk around the lake & had a chin wag with the Dutch guys fishing & my mates. Picked up another 15 k on my way round & am now back in my swim pondering my next move .

Well today ended up being a right off... Sat eating my breakfast roll , reach down to get a wipe to clean the egg off my chops & ping my back goes into spasm !!! So couldn't even drive to get supplies . The owner had some tramadol so reeled in boshed one & have only just come round lol , still in a lot of pain but has eased a little . Had to hire a boat as I can't cast long now absolute nightmare lads . If I'm lucky enough to catch another it will be a mat shot 😁
