    Little tip that always works for me: After a load of casting about trying to find spots - STOP, have a break - food and drink, a smoke, then start again. I can almost guarantee you will find spots/drops quickly after the break and re-energise, no idea why - it just works for me every time. 👍

    I had a weird one the other day could find the spot everytime with my marker rod, different story with the fishing rod and spod rod. They went everywhere but. 😂

    Our daffs that come through the gravel are flowering now, nothing says spring more than a badly laid gravel front garden. Was done by the previous owners FYI not me 😂

    I have to say that Jan/Feb are without doubt the hardest months of the year. To give up just as we see temps start to rise would be unusual. You're better off fishing the easy lake in Jan/Feb and then hitting the harder waters around now. Signs of spring are upon us.

    Nah keep going, blanking is a part of fishing. It's where you learn the most.

    i've used vecon for donkeys and always thought it was about the protein (58%), but in recent years i don't believe the HNV theory anymore, IMO i'm sure its the yeast the carp can detect and are attracted to...the Grandessa Mighty Yeast, has an Yeast Extract of (88%) so for this new season will substitute the vecon for 'Grandessa Mighty Yeast' and will give it a whole season and report back results🤞

    I always buy a few jars of vecon when its on offer, only have 2 jars now remaining in the fringe... have used Aldi's Grandessa Mighty Yeast, when H&B ran out of vecon, it worked however can't really comment as a comparison, cos it was only for a couple of months, i'm sure it would be just as good! one thing i'm certain off, homemade will ALWAYS out Fish win 👍...over fishing-shop bought c r a p!👎

    Garlic granules and chilli flakes might also be a good addition. Also can you replace vecon with Aldi rip off marmite? Might give it a try nice one.
