Thought we were in for some bites over the weekend with some favourable conditions at last. Only fish seen were in a section with no swims between points - absolutely choked with weed. Plotted up nearby in whats become the usual swims for a little while now - 6 weekends. Changed back to pop-ups but rained the baiting right back to just a few boilies with the catapult. 10pm a decent one clatters out in my water, we both hear it and think game on. But as usual that was all the activity all weekend, what a kick in the nuts! Think the fish was just telling us he was off somewhere 🤣 Plus points - bivvy pegs are good and seen dear on the island again - sorry for the phone pic.

Did a quick overnighter on the park lake last night as my current seasons tally stands at: nights fished: 1 days fished: 2 carp: 0 I’m still sat under the oval winding down the last few hours of the session. September being my favourite month for carping, l felt o needed to get on the score board for this season. This one went 23lb

Sacked off an overnighter with my youngest, we didn't fancy packing up in the rain. Went to a little farm lake instead for a few little ones. He caught his new pb log.

22lb mirror, bring it on September!

34lb 10oz mirror

Mate, it went right off, decent nights angling 👍🏻

Conditions were next level by me last night.... had me standing by the window wishing I was on the bank!

the rods out on last nights session, the calm before the carpy storm

Snide rod in the boat??? 😎

I am mate, I only needed a couple, plus I’ve known this particular tackle shop owner for 25+yrs and he’s been very good with sorting out kit at decent prices, I only paid £1 a lead. I like to give him my custom as much as I can

Well done ouch that's a banger. Nice log commonly.

You will have to serve high tea in Kev's corner next year.

Ebay about a quid a pop for me.

Foxy, kev!

I walked around a pay lake with grandkids on Saturday and the fish were coming out all over the place.. one of those wish I took a rod type days .

Bother - missed that, proper upgrade, could have Jeeves serving scones and a lovely cuppa! Splendid find Elmo old bean x

I like the look of this avid revolving table, Kev you really are the poshest angler I know.

Very silly little item but picked up a new bait needle this was about £3.30 ish on ebay, but a really nice well designed little item, a very short needle with a recessed catch for line loop this should be great on small pop ups and little wafters

Its twice the size of my pb😄

Great session @ouchthathurt!

Talking of hooks, i decided to try a pack of Bankside tackle BT continental wide gape size 4, have to say they turn every time, very "point heavy" I also got an Advanta river ambush 7ft 1.75lb rod and had a couple of fish on oi, very impressed so far club forced me to get a weigh sling/retainer

5 x 3oz leads, pack of size 6 ESP claw hammer barbless hooks, pack of small fox shrink tube, pack of ESP streamliner sleeves, pack of ESP splicing needles, 3kg prepared hemp

To celebrate my latest blank I just bought 20 3.5oz dumpy distance leads and 20 micro hook swivels.

That's my view from earlier. I've seen some, I am a little bit confident.
