humans tend to sleep lol i found they do go feeding mad but not straight after.

normally they just laze about in the weed to recover. One of the problems with pre booking of swims IMO you can’t necessarily get where the fish are unless the owner will let you move and that depends if anyone else is on at the same time. anyway, good luck, and I really hope the fish are in your area and you catch ‘em. Hopefully all the spawning will be done and dusted by then.

The location/depth of the fish will be determined largely by the conditions on the day mate. If I had to choose I personally would stick to the shallower areas. High chance of decent warm sunny conditions in July. I can't recall seeing fish moving consistently to deeper areas after spawning in 25 years of carp angling. They go where they're comfortable and where the food is imo.

Cracking fish mate well done. 😁🎣

Scientifically they only need 14, but it's party time at 18. So temp dependant then..... This year is the perfect example. Got warm then got cold then got warm again. Temp dependant. Again, perfect example. Temp dependant.

Nah that's not right mate. Spawning is temperature dependent. Once you hit 18 degrees water temps it's game on. It's when the temps are inconsistent (much like this year) that they start and stop and start again. In a perfect world it gets warm, stays warm, and they get it out of the way pretty quickly. They tend to spawn in year groups (often youngest first with the older big fish last) so it can appear even in periods of sustained warm weather that they're stopping and starting.

I wouldn't be looking to move away from the biggest weed growth and shallower water, in theory it's bang on 👍

Free spool on the clicker or like you say your rod has gone never to be seen again. 🤣

Nice hound mate. I had my pb Friday night at 11lb 06oz and as you say the power difference with a double figure hound is something else compared to a single and the singles are like torpedoes.

A few hounds caught last night and a tope pup. This was the best hound and my best this year.

I'm still using my Aqua rod sling that I got 20years ago. I hope the new stuff is as durable as it was back then, although the plastic lining is starting to crack and flake.

Went out to a local pool on me club book today... Had 3 of these little scrappers, pulled off early as they were starting to swim about in groups possibly getting ready for a bit o' Jiggy-Jig. I'll give this pool a miss for a coupla weeks now... next trip out'll be on a river I think...👍

Good luck.

Think it might have been but didn't bring my scales so I'll never know

Is that a new Pb mate?

My local has spawned twice this year already and its driving me nuts, both times it kicked off early hours when I was booked on 🤷‍♂️🤣
