Well done mate really pleased for you.

Well done, lovely fish.

I always used to add a bit of salt, say a palmful to a big pan full. Not sure if it makes any difference or not. Used to do really well on it years ago fishing 1 piece of maize and a piece of fake corn.

I would buy my own and then you can boil as little as you like and it's dirt cheap.

Mine won't be long. Will have to start shaving it all off soon unless I have a comb over 😂

Hello all I'm off to the monument 2 this weekend. It's not really my cup of tea but a couple of bloke from work was going so I thought I'd tag along. Has anyone been and done any good? I've watched various YouTube videos but they are mainly when it was first opened. Just after a few tips to hopefully bag one or two. Thanks Paul

Thanks mate. My hair thining a bit now lol

I know it's been quite a while lol. Hope your well. I took up match fishing again and then the last 2 years got back into carp fishing again. Don't get out as much as I'd like to due to family commitments etc.

Had this one on a day session at cuttle mill. 17lb 8oz.

Also Nick you mentioned about you kept losing fish in snags where you couldnt stop the fish going into them? So why carry on fishing near the snags if you can't get them out?

I dont think leads that heavy have a place anywhere in carp fishing. I've fished ressys over 200+ acres and have had no trouble. You only need to use leads like that when your sea fishing and have tidal flow.

I think zander is right about a 3.5tc rod as no matter how loose you set your cluth it will still bump fish off. Take pole fishing for instance, if you use a heavy elastic for catching small fish you will bump the fish off no matter how softly you strike. Yet if you fish with a light elastic you will bank alot more fish. I know because i have done it myself. Also if you drive a 4x4 600 miles and then drive a micra 600 miles you will use alot less petrol in the micra

Baden Hall in staffordshire

yeah i bet lol. Looks more like a dolphin
