My apologies Elmo I wasnt making light of the situation I was just having a crack is all my condolences on your dad mucka I do understand what your saying believe me
-
Elmo I was only having a crack mucka life is to short as it is I’m not being funny or nothing
-
I’ve done my baits ready for tomorrow and I’ll be fishing when the lockdown commences so looks like I’m confined at the lake 😉😉😉😊😊
-
Thanks elmo
-
I was just wondering if the water pressure was the same at this height
-
Something else to think about is the water pressure increased the higher up you go or is it the same???
-
This particular water it’s like it’s got it’s own weather system whatever the weather man says prepare for the opposite lol it’s 2800 feet above sea level in a large valley between a few mountains
-
Distance mostly and wind there’s usually a bad crosswind that picks up your line
-
Lol I’ve opened a can of worms here lol if I’m not sure I check especially on ‘‘this water reason why If it’s not in the right place and you can’t feel it down how you going to know if it’s fishing 6hrs after when you check your rig or when the hookbait is still suspended some of these spots are a kids plate in size
-
Lol I have been even if it takes 4-5 recasts I’ll do t till I’m happy
-
I’m already doing what you’ve said no boilie crumb I use dog biscuits the reason I’ve been pulling back is because if it ain’t bang on it’s no good either in rocks very dense weed or just buried in a weedbed
-
I’ve found it works on some waters but I’ve found over the yrs each and every water is totally different Elmo you’ve probably found this yourself
-
I think every angler each has his or her own personal preference so I’d like to put a little swerve in the mix now if the said size of said boilie is sat on the bottom relying on the palatability of what’s in the boilie so if you’ve got a boilie that attracts all the natural life are the carp eating it because of the boilie or naturals and maybe size don’t really matter to much after all
-
I’ve used big beds of bait but not for a long time the only reason I use the size of baits I do I don’t think the carp in these two particular waters have seen baits this size and shape as I just tear a chunk of boilie mix plus I’m there to catch them not feed them
-
There are some huge bream in these waters this is a baby compared to what’s in there lol
-
Hi guys well I was using 18mm but still catching bream so make my own 28mm+up to a 30mm I’ve lost 2 fish I’ve hooked to weed or rocks but no more bream this bream is on a 18mm
-
Thanks for the input Elmo I’ll keep you up to date on how things progress
-
I’ve even thought of the method feeder but have stayed away because of the bream
-
I’ve been told all sorts but don’t listen to anyone I always go my own road I’m just trying to be different to everyone and the usual methods that’s why I was thinking of spoon leads as I can’t see them burying because of the shape
-
Good suggestions Elmo and something I have thought about
-
I wasn’t being funny Elmo it is a good suggestion it’s just me I try not to follow everyone else and the chod rig is used to death up this place because of the weed I’m just trying to be different to everyone else elmo
-
Your going to laugh at me now lol I don’t use a helicopter set up or chose rig as every man and his dog is using them I try to not be a sheep lol ive been thinking of the old spoon leads if they’re still available
-
I’m exactly the same as you yonny that’s why I’m fishing this place I love a challenge I’m up there tomorrow for the day see if I can put another piece of the puzzle in place I’ve been privalaged to see a few pics of some of the fish and there are some crackers in there I’ve also been talking to a few and one fella has been fishing this place 5yrs regular and has his first carp a few weeks ago
-
That’s just it it’s not invisible it’s a crater so blatant and visible it’s unreal and these fish ain’t stupid this place as I’ve said is not like any water I’ve fished before the carp rule book don’t exist on this place lol what you think they’re supposed to do -do the opposite lol and your not far wrong lol
-
This place I’m fishing is like no other water I’ve fished. Usual carp behaviour is out the window on this place you may glimps a fin or a bubbler if your looking they don’t really follow the wind and if they do they don’t stay on it,there are fish here that have never come out since they were stocked it’s like a whole new learning curve lol that’s without nothing coming out an it still being filled in with bait boats
