Hi all I have just signed up as i have been away from fishing for a few years due to other "2 wheeled" interests taking priority. I used to be a member of the SDAA (Shefford and District) ticket for many years then moved to the Priory ticket in Weston for a few years. Not been on a ticket for a couple of years but just rejoined the SDAA ticket for the coming season. I dont claim to be an expert (or even that good) but i just enjoy carp fishing and am hoping to get time to spend some time on the bank. Hoping to get (and give a little if i can) some advise and guidance from like minded anglers.

Image above I've gone up into a plateau - boats currently sitting at 12ft, firm bottom, no weed. Image above I've just gone over a pack of fish, currently at 16ft - rock hard ground as a red crust with barely and yellow above. The thin yellow crust above the red in the past (middle of screen) is a thin layer of silt over rock hard ground.

Spot on that 👆👀 The only way to find where the carp are naturally feeding is to be watching from before first light IMO, last 2 trips the feeding activity ended by 6am from first light. Miss it and you're clueless it happened. Effort = reward which is this case is understanding exactly whats going on whilst most others sleep.

Your eyes are your most important bit of tackle mate 👀
