It's like a ruddy aquarium underneath my rods I've been feeding them to pass the time 😂

this is the sound of silence, it only takes one bite etc but not promising at the moment, had some pretty savage liners all through the night but nothing else, I think i am fishing the swim pretty well, but I only saw one show in the area last night, not seen oet this morning, the back bay is pretty much unfishable full of weed, pads and reeds and is a sun trap so I would be surprised if nothing is passing through, just wish they would stop at elmos diner en route 😂

I moved I hadn't seen a lot, I did spot a couple hiding in the back bay earlier so I've moved into a nearby potential ambush spot, and I've actually managed to get a drop quite happy now, Time to get sorted have dinner and a flipping beer 🍻😁

I have the air bomb ; first one broke but that was a known fault at the time ; the newer improved version works fine for me no problems at all , I really like it

My mate swears by the dot spod. I use the spomb and on the odd occasion it won't open just like on the odd occasion it will open as you cast it, but it's my preference.

Just as a observation with fox banksticks, pods and stands, that collar on the pods should be the same diameter as the outer section of fox cam-loc banksticks, the goal post bars should be the same diameter as the bankstick inserts, that would fit the stands, sticks and pod collars, so yes they should fit.

So finally get back on my feet after destroying my knee and losing a year. I then find a venue to join, Covid hits, the rules relax, I get booked on....Spawning! 2 weeks later i get my first session, Catch one, blank the second and hear the second biggest in the lake 40+ has died (my PB is 37lb and i would really like to beat that this year). the third week i find 1 dead myself, So now 6 so far are dead a 40, high 30's and a double....Venue has now been closed rightfully........God i feel this campaign is never going to get started and i have waited so long! Just incase this lake does go pair shape and the lake loses the big girl does anyone know of any venues around colchester/clacton or near? I work in Clacton so closer to there the better (current ticket is 5 minutes from work!) im already on CAPS and i dont fancy CAA at the moment. I really want to hunt a new PB, My knee is a bit of a time bomb now so i want to really get stuck into something whilst im able!

That sounds like a mare! I had a rough one this week myself. I had my ticket revoked on Alton after Eastern European anglers cast lures over my lines two nights on the trot. I went to have a word and they had no landing nets or unhooking mats. I was not impressed and gave them a mouthful after one got a bit rude. My mouthful is get fired up big time. As I went to pull away off site, a Range Rover ignored the fact I had pulled past parked two cars at the side of the road and carried on down the road leaving me nowhere to go. He pulled the "i'm further down the road, you should back up" so I made my point, and when he got rude, again I fired off, local residents complained to the fishery manager. I hadn't even parked in the road, I had unloaded, put my car in the proper car park, then when I left put my gear by the gate, got my car and loaded up. When I got home I got a phonecall telling me my ticket was cancelled. A long letter has gone to Anglian Water Fishery's headquarters! While Alton was closed after we were allowed to fish again when lockdown was eased I had a couple of trips on Essex Carp Syndicates Day ticket lake at Great Baddow. It does Google, and they are on FB.
