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! 💪🤣

A lot of swims on dinton were rock hard, topped up with road plainings. I often smacked the pegs in with a mallet to the sometime amusement and sometimes anger of fellow fishermen. On one occasion I set up opposite two mates who decided to hurl abuse at me and call me a "noddy" across the lake for ruining their fishing, my reply was simple "how many 40's you had?". The reply was, silence 🤣. Unless you're fishing right in the edge i personally believe it has no affect, though especially so on a lake like dinton where dogs are jumping in all the time, kids throwing stones etc, the carp ain't bothered by it. Bang a peg in, it might bring the fish in. 🤣

Bought a set of the Jag ones, it is your fault Elmo but they look great and the cross bar slides out so no more dog cable getting caught around them every 5 mins so worth it for that alone 👍

Iv had a run in with a deliver bike he must have been going 20mph he skidded to a stop and we both went down, sadly I lost my balance as I got up and stood on his front wheel damaging the spokes then would you believe it trying to untangle my foot I stepped on the back wheel 🫢
