They feel like a miracle at the mo tbh too few and far between, must do better, 2nd proper season fishing just this lake, 4th year on the complex and still dont know where they go overnight and indeed whether they feed at night with the weed growth? I have seen some dawn showing but when you move onto it the next day and next trip not a sausage showing, no pattern other than the assumption they're doing laps through the day. Few sessions ago a few of us had 4 hours of showing fish over our traps and no bites whatsoever, so bizarre - never happened since - like what?!?! Where they eating naturals that were on the baited patches? I know exactly when and where the 2 main targets get caught from in spring (ones now dead) but the behaviours outside of that are a mystery and noone has really sussed it - certainly testing me to the limit but I love it thankfully. Lots to keep you busy 👍 Do it while you're able to hey - to the max, one lap exceeds my daily step target so small wins! 💪🤣

Ah , all this forward planning must give your captures extra pleasure 😀 .

I use these for my caravan awning. I bought them from Aldi £10 for 10 you get the the drill attachment with them. It’s a lot quicker and less noisy than hammering pegs in.

That’s sad losing a fishing buddy, I’m way to far away to you best of luck finding someone 👍

I managed to break the blank spell yesterday and got not one but a pair of nice mirror carp, this was on Aireys pool, the middle size pool on the complex, 1st fish came pretty soon after setting up using very light tackle (new Adventa river ambush 7ft 1.75 lb rod and 4000 size mini freespool) this was on corus nut cluster 15mm boilie and a proper one tone solid run 12 3/4 lb second later in day was a charming 9.8lb scrapper on a Mulbz 12mm pop up bait, well chuffed, the first fish had a couple of sore looking lightly lifted scales so a good dose of Propolis !!!Yes i really do need a good hair cut lol!!!

Couldn't get the swim I wanted, busy bank holiday weekend, hopefully bait it when he's gone. Done a bit of cutting back as usual and this swim will certainly do for now ❤️
