    If it helps i don't think I've got it that right lol. I managed to foul hook a mid 20 mirror last night sadly (got it in, treated it and went away fine) but it was Emptying out my bait on the mat so it must have been troughing, my main spot that's seen a lot of bait seems devoid of fish at present managed to sneak this one out the margins though using only a couple of handfuls 😎

    only a bubba but quite a nice bubba. IMG_20230514_084854.thumb.jpg.f8ec4d91d7be3e0957d63d33a2342020.jpg

    It feels pretty weird this being my last morning on here, I've had some glorious highs and some quite big lows tbh, it is far from complete but that's OK, I can always come back another year, for now I need a change. 

    It's not the end Rodney just Bonjour. 

    Lovely dark one mate well done.

    It would be interesting to know peoples preferred baiting strategies as I’ve always found the thought of fishing on big baited areas hard to get my head around, no doubt it works and the results are there to see, but I’m happy to go on a 48hour with a couple kilo of boilie some pellet and a few tins of corn. Even when I track down fish and I know I’m on them I’d still chose to put a couple of hand fulls of bait on them after each capture. I suppose thats one of the attractions of carp fishing. Two people could go on a lake use total different tactics and still have good results.

    Safe to say I’ve uncovered a cold weather hang out, when lapping the lake and almost falling in when standing on the withered bullrushes I’ve realised there must be a good 2 to 3 metres of covered secluded water underneath them. Definitely a safe warm spot the carp are gavering up in…. Two more falling to the maggot and corn loose feed combo, with a trimmed down yellow pop up and maggot topper as the hook bait.

    Well done mate, great result, I'm going tomorrow so hopefully they will be on the move there too, they will probably move away from my swim though 😂

    Thanks mate, and good luck. Also don’t forgot your maggots. I reckon there’s a good chance I’d of blanked with out them. 
    definitely a big edge this time of year.

    Thanks mate, I was looking through some catch pics the other day and realised how miserable I look so thought I’d smile more and show I’m happy to catch 🤣
