I finally took a stand yesterday, booked Friday off work and will be out for a 24hr session. It'll be my first real usage of my new bivvy. I might pick up a cheap weighing tripod before I go. Looking forward to it. 😁

On Friday I'll be out about 6pm, but only doing a quick overnighter until about 10am Saturday.... Gonna use the same spod mix as last time, but abit more sloppier. Gonna throw in some Manilla Active Mix powder to slop/stodge it up... Hopefully same result as previous session, 1 on zig, 1 on deck.

I would say the mix is working for me one spot was like glass primed and ready I think , the other you have to be precise to get a drop, anywhere around it is virtually floor to ceiling weed that spot got the majority today hoping to increase it slightly, but it was progressing nicely soon be ready I think, then quick scrape with the rake to improve line lay and it will be game on.

Nice one Kev. What a session, I bet you're grinning from ear to ear?? Well done fella

I've certainly got great memories from those short sessions where you just have to fish to satisfy the bug, but with the time restraints of work and a young family and travel involved it's very easy not to go. Had my first 30 on a Friday evening session after work and with a 6 year old in tow, actually saw him enter the bay with a huge bow wave heading straight for me, he sunk down before the spot and a few seconds later he was on and heading back out the bay, what a fight and what a great memory. 33.8 Two tone mirror: Then on a crazy early morning Saturday session I managed the biggest fish in the pond. It really was like being rewarded for effort and next to no sleep - pure desire and excitement making short sessions with considerable travel worthwhile - thank you carp gods! Truth is I was there at the best times to spot feeding fish or willing fish and mobile and stealthy enough to capitalise but hey give it to the gods lol Arnie: 36 mirror likely to be Italian bloodline Bit of inspiration to get you out lads 👍

This is my latest batch of boat mix, hoping to drop it off tomorrow, just needs salt, garlic granules and a healthy dose of molasses to season now. I actually started baiting a spot in the weed where I had seen some fizzing last week, will be interesting to see if it's cleared at all.

This could be of interest to you

Last night Spomb mix was the silt with bloodworm and snails, a pint of maggots, a bit of molehill soil, Vitalin and boilies crushed and whole. Reckon that works!
