  1. First thing this morning on a Nutty Bait pop-up: 29lb @crusian 40metres, towards Scotty dog I've just been through my pics and our Facebook group. I have caught it before at the same weight last year. It was one of the 2020 stocking

  2. I did switch to a Gardner Mugga this session and adapted the rig slightly, a loop knot to the swivel, and a sliding pop-up counterweight on the loop. Properly nailed in the mouth.

    Today's thought.

    How times change, looked in the freezer this evening and noted that I got more sea bait than carp bait 3k ish of cell and 2 k of sticky krill 2 packs of Squid, 6 Mackerel, 2 packs of Sand Eels and best of all a dozen crabs

  4. That seems a much better pattern for the 360 I think. One product I found to be a bit of a gamechanger, was the korda balancing weights that attach to the swivel, I did try with a tungsten pop up weight but found unless you slid it right up the loop (kind of making the loop redundant) then the pop up came off the deck and moved too freely for my liking.

    Struggles?

    I have an alternate story lol where my mate filled in his spot and caught sod all and I went in with crumbed boilies and caught all weekend lol fish probably not on the bottom atm anyway so just go in with zigs at various depths lol if you have an allowance of 3 rods then You can have different options on each. fill in 1 zig with 1 and bits on 1. the joys of carp fishing lol

    Struggles?

    Years ago on Taverham, a mate and I were told that it was not fishing and just a few freebies would be the best way to catch. Dave and I had taken up a 10kg base mix bucket full of hemp. We put the lot in the plateau swim to the astonishment of other anglers. In the morning I think we had 10 carp between us, all over the hemp. All night there was rarely a quiet hour, the carp really got on it. You can fish one rod on limited bait and one on the heavily baited spot. Personally I prefer fishing over bait, you get the bottom constantly being stirred up when the fish are on it, and that can disguise the rigs.

    June's catch reports

    Small common as I was packing up. Doesn't this time of year drive you mad. Spawning, not spawning, spawning, not spawning 🤷‍♂️🤣 Starting to feel like I'm on the wrong water again, think a long session on the reservoir is in order 👌
