I felt the switch Sunday night. After a few trips not using the bivvy it was put up as soon as the rods were in this trip. As I was setting the rods up we had a light shower in North West Suffolk, and at 2.30am it rained properly for an hour, and fish started crashing. Yesterday a massive difference, fish moving during the day. First time I have felt comfortable putting in any more than a PVA stringer or bag full for months.

Big switch this week lads and while it's still warm, it's looking mega outside in Northants. Overcast. Rain overnight. Great temps. I predict the carp will switch on big time this week. Best of luck to anyone out this week.

I was out Sunday as soon as my fishery reopened. Whilst it was still hot, it was overcast. The fish were a lot more active. From about 11 am, I had 8 bites and landed 5, all mid to upper doubles. I lost 3 in what I think was snags that were unknown to me. My mainline just parted which started to get concerning. Overall I used least thank 1/2 a kilo of boilies and packed up around 5. I think they're on the feed now. It's good to hear others are able to get out and are having good sport.

I went yesterday to my local days only park lake and managed 14 with 13 doubles with a 16, 17 and an 18. Kept them coming all day by regularly sending out the bait boat and got through a pressure cooker of spod and about 3kg of pellet split over 2 spots. Probably going again in a few days time and have 2 pressure cookers soaking as it's cheaper then pellet. That said, I have started buying my pellets in 25kg sacks as it brings the cost down a fair bit. It really is a case of "buying your fish". The more I chuck in, the quicker and more aggressive the bites.

I've not set the bivvy up since May! Instant!

Thanks , Yonny .

Hi everyone, I'm Caprini, from Spain. I mostly fish freshwater: shore fishing, reservoirs, a bit of carp fishing, small predators, float fishing and fly fishing when I can. I'm joining to learn from real fishing communities and understand how anglers actually organize trips, keep notes, find access routes and protect their spots. I'm also validating an Android fishing app idea, but I'm not here to sell anything. There is no app released, no download and no product to promote. I'll keep things respectful and will use one separate thread if the forum allows it, so I don't mix the app discussion with my introduction. Thanks for having me.

Sadly Mate, my local club is 'overfilled', so I had to join a syndicate.
