    Could be worse fella! There's some incredible carp in those waters. Good luck.

    Well you certainly made the most of it buddy! I love a nice long catch report and really enjoyed reading this. It sounds like the sesh had its ups and downs but ultimately you made your time on the bank count. Well done.

    I've seen this a few times. You cannot know until one of the known fish gets caught down in weight.

    I agree with Elmo. While I'm a Daiwa man their lower end reels don't do it for me. You're better off with Okuma or Penn at that price point. Don't even bother mate. It's cheap Indian rubbish.

    Yeah I know of loads of places that have started. Just keep an eye on the place you fish buddy. I always like to give them at least a couple of weeks rest after spawning personally.

    Running out of time for the zigs imo mate. Once they've spawned it's time to get on the deck (on most waters anyway) until Dec/Jan depending on temps.

    Only reason I ordered the paper copy is the David Miller artwork on it lol! I still have the full set since he started doing the art and plan to frame the lot when they stop doing paper licenses. I reckon a full set will be worth money one day.

    They already give the option of a paper license or soft copy. You no longer need to have the paper license, as long as you have your phone on you.

    Rules are rules when it comes to fisheries. You accept them or you don't fish imo. If you have no paper license you'd make sure to take your phone if the rules are you need to show the license surely? Just turn it off if you don't want calls. This makes no sense to me at all mate. If the fishery requires you have a license why not just show it to them? Awkward sod 🤣

    From a commercial perspective this is all the more reason not to ask to see licenses! No one wants to turn customers away innit.

    For 50/60 yards I'd just use 50 lb braid straight through.

    I'd think that would be considered a zig. How deep is the lake? You might be forced to just try your best in the shallowest areas.

    REEL TECH based in March, Cambridge. Great service at a VERY good price. You'll find them on FB.

    Why not just get them serviced? They don't make them like they used to mate.

    The beauty of having a good clear out is you can put all the pots through the dishwasher and have a massive stash of pots ready to start filling with various pop ups and glugs again......🤣

    Yes, he's still a mod as far as I know. Hardly ever see him on here now.

    Those Scopex Strawberry baits have caught me some very, very rare carp @Highy. No idea what it is about them but always good for the rare ones. The Scopex/Cream are good too. Expensive meal for a mouse!!!

    They're the best none cork ball pop ups for buoyancy by a mile imo mate. In days gone I've had them in the test tank so long the hooks are rusting away and still popped up. They have food value too, a proper attractor package, not just flavoured pop up mix like most firms do. Decent.

    The KLS? I've had them for a while, he was kind enough to chuck a tub in with an order before they were widely available last year. They look the nuts but I've just not had the chance to use them yet. Absolutely no doubt they'll be great.

    My pop ups tend to be treated with a few bits so I can always keep adding to them to freshen them up and keep them pumping. Assuming you're not using anything that can go off, two years is nothing imo. It does pay to have a clear out every now and again though. It's too easy to end up with pots of unused pop ups everywhere.
  21. yonny
    None of this stuff matters if you're not on fish. Have you been on them? In my experience carp are not too hard to catch once you've found them. The tricky bit is finding them, especially on a canal. If I was you I'd not even be unzipping the rod bag until I'd seen carp.

    Well you can't just tease us like that and hope to get away with it 🤣🤣 Is this top secret or are you willing to tell us more?

    Carp rigs

    yonny replied to callum23's topic in UK Carp Fishing

    1- A decent pop up rig (I use spinners and hinges depending on the substrate). 2 - A decent bottom bait rig (I use a simple D rig). 3 - Zigs.

    I think a lot of guys tried to replace angling with buying tackle during lockdown. It was the only fix we could get 🤣 So on a completely unrelated theme, when is someone gonna release a carbon barrow? It'd cost a fortune no doubt, but I'd be first in the queue to buy that one!

    Funnily enough my only "big" purchase last year was to have my small water rods rebuilt. Water was starting to get in under the whipping resin. 180 quid all in and they'll last another 15 years easy. They're irreplaceable and the next best thing would cost north of £1500 so 180 notes very well spent.
