Hello Pablo , I started out float fishing lunchonmeat with a sz. 10 and 8lb line , but slowly I have graduated to a sz. 6 and 15lb line . Like Nick mentioned , the Carp I am likely to come into contact with aren't huge , therefore I'm not ready to go up to 18lb and a sz. 4 . I think you'll get used to scaling up if you do it in stages . 😃

You Contrary Mary , Elmo ! . 😁

The waters where I fish now I am spoilt , either a brick built flushable toilet or a Premier Hire Portaloo .; but at a previous lake , well I wouldn't have wanted to be a rabbit trying to get out of it's burrow ! . 🤢

You're not easily put off are you , Mufty ? . The thing I don't understand is doesn't your local have any trees and bushes tucked away , and together with a trowel you wouldn't need to go home .? . 😃

I'll have to try that excuse , I'm sure my boss will understand . 😀

Well IMO I wouldn't advertise the venue with that horrible looking Carp , Smufter's Daughter's linear - now that's what I want to catch ! . -
Either all the waters in Hampshire are lovely , or , to me , you choose great looking waters , Dayvid . 😃

I use the Deeper Pro + to map waters quickly , but with the fish finder turned off ; the PowerDolphin would be a giant leap too far . 😃
-
Are you sure that isn't your personal " pond " on your " estate " , Dayvid ? . 😁
-
Which " fella on eBay " is that please , Danny ? . 😃
-
👍 Well done , Nick .
-
I think you should camouflage Sky , a dog coat in realtree ? . 😀
-
Belated congratulations on the job , Nick ; is it going well , catering ? . 😄
-
Thanks , Nick. Ah the undercut banks , I remember the tale of your epic struggle with one undercut resident that acted as though it was a lot bigger than it turned out to be - well worth catching though . 😀
-
Thanks very much , Yonny and Framey . The weed in the shallows was removed after the carp had spawned and the fry hatched and dispersed , so I guess I'll focus my attention on the far margins with the overhanging trees and the dam end .
-
Hi Everyone So with the hot weather if there aren't any obvious shows where would you expect the Carp to be ? . I'm thinking that during the day the shallows will not have a lot of oxygen , and the Carp will move into the shallows under the cover of darkness . Maybe look for deeper water where the sunlight doesn't penetrate as easily as the shallows ? . Any ideas please ? . Ta 😃

My Day Off today , but I'm just trying to stay cool . Maybe if I fished through the night ? , but then I've got work tomorrow . O.K. who am I kidding , I'm just not motivated enough to make all that effort ! .
-
What have you gone for Emmcee ? . That's what I call confidence in your bait , I'm sure you won't be chopping and changing baits now ! . 😃
-
It's good to see you with a big smile on your face , Nick , why it's almost a Smufter goofy grin . 😁
-
Thanks very much fellas . I'll stick to my ESP Semi Stiff Tungsten Loaded . 😃

Hi Everyone I came across the above rig at a boot sale , and thought it might be worth a go I've never used a flurocarbon hooklink , I'm particularly wondering how abrasion resistant it would be around snags ? . Ta . 😃
-
Are you allowed a boat JH ? , only I'm thinking drifting quietly along maybe putting out a carpet of floaters ahead of you ? . 😃
-
Hello Teo In addition to the other advice , all of which I wholeheartedly agree with , I would wander around and around stalking with mixers / floating pellets hoping to see a Carp or 2 and look to select the biggest . 😃
-
Hello MS , welcome to the forum . I'm surprised no one has answered your question , perhaps you could help , Nick , as a Shimano man ? . 😃

Hello Mufty I know you said live snails , but what about Dynamit Baits Hemp and Snails Specimen ? ; the video on their website shows a snail hair rigged with a plastic corn topper . 😃
