I'm on 8 now another mid double common in the night left that rod in, no pic, got woken up by a screamer, that fish really didn't want to come in, then it probably ran 40 yards into the pads to my left, all the time staying deep, had a stalemate with it for a while and eventually it swam out and proceeded to not want me to land it, I actually thought it was a bigger one when it was on but I thought no way when I saw it, a lovely mid double MIRROR 😍 I always thought commons fight hardest but this one wow angry little so and so, I've airbombed the rest of the dirty munga out and put 3 fresh bags out to see if I can't hit double figures whilst packing up 🤣

Mid 40 common in the middle here.

Went out round some club lakes this morning... took the two photos while walking round the waters.... those two were taken next to an "out of bounds" section of one of them... all the fish were sitting up there while 20 odd blokes were lashing the water with every method under the sun...

Well I am now home had to stop and get some bread and milk, thought it best to also get Mrs Putney some flowers as fish no 10 made an appearance, just as I had started packing away, I had just turned my reciever off didn't realise one of my alarms was silent, luckily I heard the bang as it pulled out the clip and the bobbin hit the rod, fish 10 was the common to prove me wrong, battled all the way in and really tried to get himself free spent ages going through every pad stem and even round and round some rushes, clever one that one, it knew how to get free, must have beaten someone before as when I got it in and unhooked it I thought thats odd my rig isn't attached turns out he already had a hook plus mine, 2 hooks removed another mid double common but another pretty one pics to follow later on, All in all that was a mega session alright, don't think I will fish that lake again though, it was fun once but its exhausting, I don't feel I got enough time to relax 😁 But I tried a few different hookbaits a few different rigs and my conclusions are, you can catch them on any rig if they are preoccupied with feeding as long as it presents correctly not a concern, d rig kicker rigs tended to get the best hook hold though but 10 fish hooked, 10 landed so no major concern, I even used the same wafter and rig for 2 fish couldn't get the Hat trick on it though 😁

Preview of Jonny 5 all 20lb 2oz of him those 2 ounces have got rid of a big old weight around my neck I was starting to think I could only catch mid to high doubles 😩

Smashing mate.😁👍🎣

Number 9 has visited the bank, a mod double common 🤣 but a pretty one so I took some snaps

This one was no 6, about mid double but went just while I was just settling the line on my other rod, it's been mental today, I need a cider and no more runs for a bit 😁

This one was no 4 another common about 15lb I actually got the camera set up for no5 📸

There is a virus or something that can be caught from peanuts So be careful I’m going to find out the name of it so will be back

Totally agree mate. You'll take that mate. Well done.

Well done the catcher!

Smashing it mate

Hope I have as good a session as this next week 🙏 on my 48hr

This one is no 3 mat shots ftw all from my middle rod so far all commons, and all between 12 and 16lb, I'm starting to feel like I need to get organised these teatime fish aren't doing my organisation any good 😁

Just had another little one 12lb common , it was a bit of a pig to unhook as it had a manky mouth so I slipped it back without a photo, 😢

Thank you all. Very interesting advice, you've raised my confidence level since yesterday, when it all felt a bit daunting. Yes several, with a large out of bounds nature reserve at one end. On my to get list! Got a decent one. I'm a bit concerned that pegging down may be an issue, if fishing the dam wall bank. I was told you can get pegs in between the concrete slabs?? I was thinking of taking my cordless and some screws with big washers on. Not so sure the water board or management will like it though?? Any solutions welcome
