Elmo the reason I use sand and not pellets or ground bait bream and i find the sand holds the oil a lot longer plus blends into the silt that good they keep coming back and back again looking I’ve just yet to land one but getting closer Can’t really get any simpler than hemp sand

That’s exactly what I done laughed my head off 😂😂👍

It is getting cold I’ve made a bivvy warmer out of a biscuit tin and tea candles

I’ve a lake like that but you couldn’t leave your gear to go for a coffee one of the syndicate members would say you need to be banned for leaving your gear lol

What more could you want lol other than one of those 30s in the net

I get that guys just have to fish closer to home if possible some fishing is better than no fishing I’m spoilt where I am we have a vast number of lakes here they just all fish hard lol hope you guys still get to wet a line. Stay safe everyone

Why is your fishing being stopped us this side of the bridge been in lockdown for the last 2-3weeks but if your local ie same area you can still fish it’s outside guys as long as your on your own Even on our social we still distanced drank own beers etc

😂😂I’d just like to say something about solid bags I’ve been using sand with hemp oil loads of attraction no food plus casts a dream now I made about half dozen a few days before nice an solid well let’s just say how they went in the water was how they come out 4 hrs later minus the pva I’d compressed them that hard they had set like a brick 😔😔note to self do them on the day lol

If you add a good dose of sea salt to the corn it will go in a pva bag long enough to put out reasonably fast

This sounds very much like the water I’m fishing commonly best of luck buddy may the carp gods look on you kindly

Hi I’m no expert by a long shot walk around before you fish early morning sunset your eyes will be your biggest weapon at the moment the more time you spend around there you will soon learne where they like to be what’s the depths what’s the topography of the lake bed trickle a bit of bait in here and there keep eye on it hope this helps

I’ve used a 3-5inch but have also used a 3inch pully rig to good effect

Some tidy looking hooks are they strong for hook an hold etc

Glad to hear the hound is feeling better

Thank you reedy 11 I will indeed look at your hooks

That’s exactly how I set mine up it’s a good system

Ink mucka I myself like most the others here I’m married kids etc fishing is a hobby I’ve done a 2 yr blank and realised that I was overthinking things and stressing because I wasn’t catching there was an old fella a few swims down that suffered a heart attack luckily an ambulance was going past near where we were he was saved but it made me realise that there’s enough stress in life we fish to enjoy Mother Nature and the surroundings we are in the peace an quiet Just chill remember life is short Don’t stress yourself it’s about being there

Have a good un sammy

I use my centrepin an little rod any opportunity I get the fights are unbelievable That and fishing for unknowns is what floats my boat

100%correct bluelabel

Well sammy every fishery has its own rules and regs but I can honestly say I’ve landed carp up to 24lb on my 6ft stalking rod an centerpin it can be done personally I think the fight is amazing It’s his fishery his rules

Carl an Alex are good guys done a lot for the sport an new inexperienced anglers

My brother just had to sign a waiver saying if he contacts carona that work ain’t liable it’s wrong what is being done

I do get you elmo and understand fully what your saying just to say the lake I’m fishing is in my area and I’ll be home before lockdown I won’t be happy about it but I’ll comply this will finish Britain financially
