Finally decided to start my river campaign only about 2yrs late! First night last night, one small carp seen cruising along the far reeds, another bigger fish breached and rolled mid channel and I got a few bream and a nice tench from under the bush to the top right of the shot. I spodded 3kg of hemp and 2kg of pellet just upstream and fished a 7 bait stringer over the top with about 50-60 boilies pulted around it. That was the middle rod sorted, the left hand was fished tight to the far reeds in 5ft of water with just a stringer attached. Right rod fished tight to the near margin on a 4ft shelf as a single, with a few broken boilies and a handful of 1mm & 2mm pellets over it. I was worried I’d over done the baiting/spodding on the middle rod, but it was the only one to have any liners or do any bites. Gonna be a challenge this venue, miles upon miles of wild water, an unknown stock of carp (a few come out along this stretch) plus limited and restricted stretches you can night fish stack the odds against me. I can only go to certain places, the carp can go anywhere they like! 🙄

First week back after spawning, new swim another blank, loads of liners as the fish moved accross the huge marginal plateau but the swans make it tricky to fish.
Saturday morning they closed the bottom end of the lake as they were spawning again.

In Britain, apparently the sun is a very rare sight

£10.00 for three bags of whole king prawn with the shells on, cracking bait mate, the amount of blood that comes out these is unreal.

Free spool on the clicker or like you say your rod has gone never to be seen again. 🤣

Yes mate the initial run they go like a train and if you get an 8lb plus the fight is amazing. Great fun my favourite sea fish I love fishing for these fish.

Went out to a local pool on me club book today...
Had 3 of these little scrappers, pulled off early as they were starting to swim about in groups possibly getting ready for a bit o' Jiggy-Jig.
I'll give this pool a miss for a coupla weeks now... next trip out'll be on a river I think...👍

Last weekend, same swim, same baiting - all 3 on the yellow, similar conditions.
Took the baitboat in case I wanted to fish upto the island and find fishable ground with the sonar, but all this showed me was that my normal spots are deffo the one so left them there for the duration of the session no recasts just a bait top up for the 2nd night.
Just a couple crashed all weekend - no feeding activity, got it wrong again lol
Need these fish to spawn and be normal - taking forever with this weather.
Maybe next time
