I've not set the bivvy up since May! Instant!

Big switch this week lads and while it's still warm, it's looking mega outside in Northants. Overcast. Rain overnight. Great temps. I predict the carp will switch on big time this week. Best of luck to anyone out this week.

Had a look at the website. All the flavour combos are classics, tried and tested.

Relentless innit!

Awesome @kevtaylor

Exactly! What's wrong with these people? 🤣

You've certainly got the swim covered lad!

With the big pit covered in a giant weedberg on the end of the wind where I wanted to be, I decided to pop to the local day ticket for my monthly session. I experienced all the highs and lows associated with such places - plenty of carpy activity but got casted over, spombed at, hemmed in...... but all's well that ends well. Caught a few with these being the prettiest. The linear is typical of the stock of this water, but the other one is a true leather. Quite a rarity nowadays.

I've been known to move swims if someone shows up next door with a mallet and a ten billion lumen headtorch. Can't be doing with that. Tbf I'm not bothered if someone moves in next door and they're quiet and show etiquette. If I see fish in an empty swim I'll move in there regardless of who else is about, but I'd be mindful of the situation. For example, I'd not cast out at bite time if there's guys on the fish next to me.

Lush!

Came through the latest heat wave fine. All the koi are happy and feeding really well, it's amazing what that extra air has done. I've been upping the food this past week and the fish are loving it. We now have a prolonged period of 25-28C which is absolutely no problem so it's time to put some weight on.

Made me chuckle😅

Don't guess..... Treat it like any other session and try to find the carp. If you can't find them, I'd start on the end of the wind but be ready to move on any sighting. Imo deep water is not the one in high temps but hey.... I've seen them show up in the oddest of places at the oddest times of year! 20C+ is bad for oxygen but good for digestion/feeding.... but digestion uses lots of oxygen (lol). Swings and roundabouts mate. All you can do is find them and fish for them.

Just use AI to generate something mate.

Savage mate. I've been there...... work overnighters with no sleep due to bream. Horrible.
