How times change, looked in the freezer this evening and noted that I got more sea bait than carp bait
3k ish of cell and 2 k of sticky krill
2 packs of Squid, 6 Mackerel, 2 packs of Sand Eels and best of all a dozen crabs
I feel your pain
Are there 200 carp in the lake ? where did the info come from, are other anglers catching if they are tell them your struggling and would appreciate any info.
The reason I ask about the 200 fish is a mate fishing a water last year found it more difficult than usual then found out recently that there had been a fish kill which he didn’t have a clue about.
Warm weather is here and il be on the zigs 👍
Indeed I am, nice reels solid with a good line lay 👍
Today Iv had them returned to me I lent them out to a mates kids they had them for around a month to try out carp fishing the one lad is keen and looks like he’s going to give it a go the other is defo not.
Been awhile since I got all them all together so I thought a family pic was in order, all Okuma
Now I’m confused here ( I know it doesn’t take a lot )
iv got a set of set of Korum 10 ft all rounders in 2 .25
and a set of Dave Lane Classic in 12 ft 3.lb with a 3.25 that I use for marking and Spoding ..umm oh yeah 🤔
A set of 12 ft 3.50 Prologic Fulcrum …
and not forgetting the very naughty set of ESP onyx Quickdraw 10 ft 3.50
The reason for purchasing the ESP set was I needed to get my gear down to a minimum and they pack down to 50 inches, the 3.50 because I was using bags as I thought I couldn’t complete with the bait that was going in the water I was fishing and the thinking a bag approach would be the best option
Soooo am I a fashionable or unfashionable angler? 🤔
Or just got to much gear 🫢
I was thinking the same.
My choice of weapon in the 80’s was a Daiwa Paul Kerry 12 ft quite tippy teamed it with an Abu 7000c with the level wind removed
Lee Kerry who is an England international match angler is his son
I had the same thought on the weekend, been sea fishing lately 4-5 hr trips with no cover been looking at mountain warehouse clothing with uv protection very reasonable prices
