Good Morning Gents,
Wondering if anyone can help me.
I got back last night with the mrs from a 2day session at lizards in west drayton last night.
1st day/ night we had 4 carp from 14- 18 from 1pm first day to 02am second second day. No bites were missed and we landed every time.
We were using a safety lead system with korda danny fairbrass rigs size 8 and normal white 15mm boilies.
The second day was painful so i switched up the bait to a 15mm pop up. Finally some action and the bait runner/ bite alarm went absolutely mental. I struck and felt like the fish was on... mental bend in the rod and all of a sudden the fish was gone. All bait and rig in tact.
I then thoight it may be something to do with using the pop up so i changed to a 20mm normal boiley. The same rod, runner and bite alarm went absolutely crazy again and the exact same thing happened. The only two knocks i had all day felt like huge fish and felt hooked but then they were lost.
Can someone explain whether this is bad luck or if something id done wrong as i cant get over it!
I have 3 fox eos rods and tf gear reels.
Many thanks
Sam
