Well after some long days without a touch today finally provided me with a fish. I didnt manage the carp i craved but caught a 7lb tench. My friend also had a 7lb tench and a 12lb mirror. Its been a tough week but atleast i had some response to my methods. Which brings me to the advise i recieved. I tried to fish the double swim everyday but was always taken when we arrived at 6am! Today was the first day and we caught fish on PVA bags with chopped bollie and pellet with single bollie hookbaits. So your advise was spot on!!!! Back to work now but back again on wed and thurs!!! Next time ill get the carp!!!! Oh just if your interested blush was caught on wed evening weighing 29lb 10. thanks alot tight lines

Hi there. Thank you for ur tips!!! i wil try and implement them tommorrow. Well i blanked again today fishing opposite the double swim on the left you mentioned. Funnily enough the swim you mentioned produced two fish one tench and a mid double. We were told about serveral blood worm patches this ring any bells??? The swim i fished was very clear without any of the lilly pad roots but 8feet to the left and 10 to the right they were present. Would fishing directly on these be more profitable than the clear patches. Im stil very new to this game but enjoying the learning curve im just waiting to get that first creaming run!! I also spoke to a guy from bristol today who claimed he caught a 29 10oz in feb so im guessing that would be the mystical 30!!!?? Will keep u posted thanks for the help!!!

Hi there fellow carpers!! I started to fish for carp last year and found my first season very up and down. Learning along the way confidence built and eventually managed to catch a few biggins the biggest 4oz short of the magic 20!! Im so desperate to catch one iv just joined a new lake called Huntstreet. It boasts a large amount of 20s and a couple of 30s. Doing a five day stint down there this comin week but night fishing isnt permitted so what should i do? Stay in same swim all week??? Bait up end of every day? Its very silty apparently so would a helicopter rig be most effective? Any info would be greatly recieved! Thanks in anticipation......
