After an 8 month hiatus from catching fish I was more than pleased to get the net under this pair last weekend. Caught off two different spots which was satisfying the bottom one fought like a big fish too, really slow and ploddy and stayed deep, if I had lost it I would've sworn it was a monster.

Had a few of these on me hols in Docklow

Reward for working the adjustable zigs, after a frustrating 1st 24hrs I finally found a combo that bought a take on the 2nd afternnon, triple NS1 8mm black, pink and white. 2.5 feet under in 20 feet of water. Get in!

Cheers Nick, I'll pick up a cheap mat off a mate who runs a unit seeling fishing gear and keep in the boot. Better safe than sorry.

Nutting yet but will be topping up essential bits for da weekend, nothing major. She has her big op next Friday so it could be eight weeks before I get out again. Oh and kind of a purchase just won a civil case againt a major name in the finance world, sneaky sods even their own legal team was beyond impressed by the case I put to them, they are really flapping it now as I can take them to the high court next already had an offer to settle.

Yup I stand corrected 😳…I would have to upgrade to a padlock instead of the sticky tape that’s on the lid tho

Am I starting something in May? I set up in 'my' baited swim on Tuesday, but after a blank night felt a move was in order. Another blank last night, but today I had fish showing so stayed where I was. Got swanned out on 1 rod, but the left hand in the shallower water by the island margins was left alone. Had a rather nice take on a little RH Infusion Naturalz as the sun set. This little fella at 20lb 2oz was stocked in January at 17.

I was just about to close my boot after emptying the car when I noticed a man about to throw this away. Needless to say I asked if It worked and could I have it and it's now in the back of my car, that's a pretty big coincidence isn't it? And I was made up with that stroke of luck

Went to a brilliant local animal feed place today 40kgs for £22 after that I went to the tip Tbc....

Well I've had an expensive week Syndicate ticket And I've just done some Gardner fan boy purchasing Attx deluxe receiver all green leds to match, the last one I ordered never arrived and had issues with the ebayer I ordered from. Gardner leather lock washers and some buzz bar spacers to make my set up all neat and smart, 15lb Gt80+ (nearly went GTHD but I'm sticking with it as it sinks so well) Gardner baseball cap I also ordered some Oakley prescription Polaroids and they should be arriving soon. I think I am going to be selling some bits soon lol

My turn came but smaller, and I don't care. All you bait aficionados see this; I caught it on a Royal Carp boilie from about 2004 and a piece of earplugs soaked in some Creamsicle stuff of the same vintage.

Rob got one right after I arrived, so I'm hopeful... we know they're here.

Just back from a 48hr social at Fenland fisheries. Great venue, choice of lakes, facilities and takeaways nearby. A slow start for me, finally bringing in a couple of chunks on day two, to save the blank. Fitting to have red, white and blue R3's for a coronation capture!

This morning was busy with 3 takes off 2 different spots. Back home now planning my next session.

A common from early this morning, over 24 hours left. Another full moon tonight 🌕

After a couple of blanks recently I managed to get back amongst them, hopefully there’s more to follow.🤞

I hate May on top of normal bills car Insurance, club membership, boat insurance, caravan insurance , rod license, rya membership plus other things I have forgotten I’m sure off
