Well no fish this time almost tho Here’s a pic of our digs

Unfortunately the shortened form of Richard was being used as an insult, often with head, so it got added. I've just spent 5 nights on the bank, blanking, but despite some serious frosts didn't get cold. Daytime wear was combat trousers, boots, and a Regatta base layer on top half with a fleece, then a zip fleece top. If I got cold then I put my snood on, and overtrousers on. The sleeping bag is still the Morpheus Extreme 4, but with a sleeping bag cover. I didn't have to resort to the extreme of another jacket, or even my Army Norgie. Bruce who did 1 night was pretty similar although he was using his Norgie with a paratrooper smock jacket instead of the base layer

Zigs are out. Sun is hitting the bay on my left out of the cold wind, got to be off by 3pm

Hope you get one mate good luck, quite chilly today the cabin might be a nice luxury

Well I’m fishing at last on a 24hr, the trip has been called off twice with Covid. Me an a mate booked a cabin nx to the lake il post some pics tomorrow.

Cheers I’ll try that out, I’m a big fan of pva bags so the pellets will be useful for this as well! Thanks for this, great tip which I’ll definitely be using for my fishing.

I think carp anglers are rather formulaic in their approach... 3 rods out, 1 margin, 1 open water, 1 long... 30 to 50 baits around each and sit on it... or all 3 rods on a baited spot... seen it too often... do summat different... different bait, less of it (especially on day ticket, pressured waters) try a floatfished bait or a big worm or prawn... do summat different from the crowd... sorry if this sounds a bit negative, but I see too many lads get stuck in a groove... do the same old same old, and leave the sport... honestly... try something different or stay off the beaten track/ known swims... you may find your results skyrocket

He's doing great mate. Proper little bruiser lol. These ☝️☝️☝️☝️

Woke up to my mates alarms going off at 1am, god there loud ! he’s a very slow getting up and out but it’s still on when he picks his rod up. White Heavy frost and a shiny moon looks lovely. Plays the fish for 5 mins is this the 30 at last ? ..... Um no it fell off. Gutter for him
