Alright strangers. Not been on here properly for a while as I've been putting 110% into a new job for the last 6 months, not to mention my daughter who just turned 1 year old. This week I managed to get on the bank for just the 2nd time since last August (!). Had a good'n that I thought you'd like!

And these 2 came from the same margin spot

Thanks mate ... turns out to be covid, first time I've caught it . These were my captures before I got ill 🤒 30lb 12 oz on a 10ft zig

My view from the scratcher, it's pretty rainy, been solid for the last couple of hours, should be a gap at 8am when I will start the pack down ready to go back to work. I was pretty efficient last night rods all out nicely by midnight all got a donk. Asleep by 1, now I am just hoping I find a carp stupid enough to spring the traps. Left rod is the fix boilies whole and chops with squid 2t pop up, Middle is a solid bag with tigers and a few boilies the right hand rod is reaper nut mix whole nd chops and match the hatch pop up. I'm giving them options and so far they re turning there noses up at all of em 😂

My son and I had a few hours out today in the spring sunshine. I had a 6lb common, my boy had: 26lb 5oz new pb common 13lb common

Spent few hours raking yesterday to fish tonght just cought the first of year no weeds absolutely made up my hard work work oaying iff larl tenchie

A rod shot cos it's another blank. But rods came out at 8 30 and back at work now. Shame because it started feeling like there was a chance when the rain stopped but it is what it is.

Dinkle incoming, he only went through one rod today that's progress.

Well , had 4 days planned at churn pool with 3 other mates arrived Monday feeling fine , but by Monday night was feeling like death warmed up sickness/ shivering/ aching all over. So had to reel the rods in & they didn't go back out. back home now in bed wondering what a good session it could of been as I did manage to catch before the sickness kicked in . Managed to brake my run of blanks which I'm happy about , but I know it could of been a blinder ,just my luck at the moment it seems 🙈

First carp of the year was a bream! Yuck. Slimy brute. No picture of that! Second was a carp. Maybe just a double but great fun on light feeder gear (4lb hooklink)

Yeh, getting lad to do the lot for himself was abit tricky at 1st, but got used after a few recast.

You were right mate! What a beauty! Well done sir👏

That’s a cracker Yonny, well done mate

Good to see you back that is a belter. Hope your all doing well, you're certainly making having no time work for you 👍

Alas a blank for me, could have stayed another 24 hours but was packed up and away by 8am as rain was forecast for 12 I fished well no dramas, highlight of the trip was watching a mid 20 swim lazily under by rod tips 🙄

I probably couldn't even catch that at the moment. I found it quite harsh for a few days though it can knock you about, good effort catching those though that's a good session right there tbh.

*In Gandalf's voice - "A good angler never blanks, he just runs out of time in the session..." Better luck soon bud.

Racking up the blanks but we're enjoying the scenery for sure.

Few hours this morning with the boy so he could try catch one before heading back to his mums and school 12lb 8oz, made him happy

Loading car as we speak myself 😁😁

I suppose I might as well admit to catching from the syndicate lake. I'm not normally worried about ounces, but this time I kept a close eye as we have been going with a regular stocking policy, and was stocked in December 2021 at 16lb. Its now 23.12 Multi-rig with a 3oz running lead again. The buzzer woke me up, but my first thoughts were not polite as I saw a pair of tufties scooting away, followed by 'that's not a tufty'.

Im really, really annoyed by petty crime, again.🤮 I've got 2 vans, both have been broken into by drilling holes in the sidedoor panel where the latch is. First time they took 3 cordless tool around £400 new. Damage to the doors at £1k. This week, they damaged the latch so couldn't get in?? Estimate £1.5K. The tools we use are only around £7-800, so not worth insuring due to £500 excess. Same for the damage caused, not worth claiming for!! Quote for dead locks £500 each van. So for a these parasites looking for an easy score it's cost me around £3k😭😭😭 Not a happy chappy
