hi all have been fishing for a while and have enjoyed the normal mixed bag of coarse fishing the latest club waters have several lakes that include Carp the smaller lake has Carp up to 10lb and have enjoyed using cage feeder and fishing for Carp and suddenly i realised i have been fishing for these carp however i have stayed away from the lakes with bigger fish the biggest fish i have caught is 9.5 lb and would like to start fishing for bigger fish and so I want to understand how to do it properly and have the right setup with family commitments this will be day fishing only and would like to keep things as simple as possible if there is such a thing and looking at carp specific tackle i have to hold my hands up and say i get lost at where to start to be honest so looking forward to pick your brains and see if i can get on the right track Graham

thank you mate i am enjoying the shift having not even realised I was doing it but will still carry on with silvers etc but I am looking forward also to including targeting Carp so lot to learn Graham

They (Tories) can't name a single benefit from brexit. Despite it being rich as smugg's job for the past 2 years??? OH! Sorry, apart from now they have lifted the cap on their pals bonuses🤮

You should have been worried ages ago this is just the final death rattle,they've already done much worse, they've done a destroy and exit now, even GB news has started praising starmer now, which Definately highlights how untrustworthy he is, The tories are finished they really don't have a leg to stand on now, you have kwasi on drugs at the queen's funeral making economic decisions and really bad ones, that will make us suffer for years to come, it's a class war now and if you can't see that then you will have a rude awakening sometime, I won't rise to the anti Corbyn comment, just let you know you are wrong but you will never seek to understand why, but you should the truth is out there, he will be reinstated soon, call it a hunch, As for Boris's charm, yes he was pretty good on have I got news for you, but the fact he pretty much got sacked from every job for lying, really never made him prime minister material, he was finished because of his corruption, they were quick to get rid of him because his ties with the kgb were about to come out, and we all know the tories really loved the oligarchy, if you still think tories have done a good job then it's looking really hopeless because I bet you can't name the things they've done well?

I'm out again this weekend for another 24hrs, I'm going to be trying a different club lake Well it's a Reservoir 20 to 25 ft deep a different challenge all together, my usual lake has got a charity carp match on it which Highy is fishing and good luck to him, So I thought I would give somewhere else a go, I have pike fished it and once for the carp with nothing. But it will make a nice change. Here are a couple of pictures.

I know what you mean. Stick with your go to set up, don't change anything. It's been 3 years since I caught a decent fish. I've tried all sorts of different methods on a huge water. This year I went to a small venue with the missus and kids, ended up fishing a stiff fluro rig that smashed my original syndicate, due to nce clean bottom. It worked, so I used that rig at my syndicate reservoir. 1st carp out, is a new pb 35lbs. Followed by a nice little common, 22lb, I wish I could get a 30+ common! But always seem to get mirrors?? Hard earned, but regret not using my best rig from the start. Got the bug again, but family life is very restrictive at the moment. Social meeting there tomorrow evening. I live in hope to get bankside in the next few weeks, this is my favourite time of year to be out🥺

I'll have to get a "Tips Up" shot of the Cane rods and Mitchells next time out.... 🤣 I can remember when it was the old Gerry Savage SU's with Mitchell 300's pointing down at the water on LONG (3 foot) banksticks and Herons with a 2' drop to your squeezy bottle top with an isotope araldited into it... how times change.... yoof o' t'day mutter mutter when I were a lad... moan moan never in my day.... gripe gripe

Sorry had to - these ones look sick lol Just for the fans x

Dont know what you're on about, it looks carpy as....
