Fish a water with big carp in it😁

I tend to let the carp tell me what to do.
If there's a spot in front of me on which my finned friends are clearly having it, I like nothing more than to fish 3 on it. Some of my best hits have come to this method. But it's very rarely this situation occurs and even rarer there's space for three rods on the spots I tend to fish.
I just fish to what I see. This could mean 3 on a spot or 3 different spots dotted all over the place. Or 2.... or even 1.

Yes mate very disappointing, I can't believe it hasn't been backed up at all. Spent ages reading and writing those over the years.was always nice to see who had caught something,was even better when you had caught one and were really excited to do a little write up, was always one of the first things I did when I got home, feels like such a waste of time now. 

Indeed mate. That's the last time I bother doing any.
The fact all those years of records from everyone can just be deleted by mistake is farcical imo.

For some reason the catch reports have disappeared, I honestly have no idea what's happened.
It might be a freak out on my tablet although I wasn't in that section beyond page3.
 
If you would like to restart with this month we can try to get it up again

Surely it would be backed up somewhere? 

So have all the catch reports from all time been deleted? 
Sad day people put a lot of effort into those catch reports. 

it really depends on the spot and the situation. Impossible to say before you're in a swim and found the spots that are fishable. 
I normally try to spread my rods in a swim to give options and may move two to a spot if it's producing fish and the others are quiet. 

Depends 
sometimes one is enough.

Old wives tail mate, they will still eat fishmeal in the winter the problems you can get is becuase the water is colder and there metabolic rate has slowed down, if they chow down on a heavy protein bait it basically can take them alot longer to digest so they wont be as inclined to eat again for several days maybe longer, also combine that with there requirements change when the water is colder so they are looking for fast hits of more energy based/easy digestable baits like a Manilla or Live system rather than a complete food source.

2nd night a bust still no fish down the other end so a move today after trying floaters on the small lake for an hour.  Can't get the swim I really want on this new easterly, but this is the nearest one, 2 rods very close to the point, 1k of mix over the top, one close on a single pink. 
New swim to me, had to open it up as noones bothered - hours work before setting up, deserve a fish for that, last night so fingers crossed 🤞

Not a view from the bivvy door, but I just love how natural and neglected this pit is 🥰

Back out, another 3 nights, taken a swim that's unfished so far this year due to high water, on the end of the wind, feels banging, rods out, baiting done - come on Mr carp.

I've binned off all my tech this year, sold the boat, my deeper stopped working so I'm more or less a traditional angler these days, next up split canes and a pipe 😬

The Time to go fishing. 

That's a newer version buddy.

My pal mentioned they were going for silly money. And that is silly!

Seen them in mint condition for around £2500 👀

No not another baitrunner, it's the old school big pit that the likes of Tom Stokes still uses, like a silver/light blue.  Power Aero or somwething like that, still fetch top money - too much money for what they are tbh

Try running around Linear fisheries in padded salopettes, jacket wellies and carrying two buckets to hopefully find two decent swims 😏…but joking aside fair play to you for keeping fit 👍

Your eyes are your most important bit of tackle mate 👀
