If adding floats as Elmo suggests doesn't work maybe Dannygooner uses a leightweight net as he is a mobile angler who travels miles ? . 😃

Hello Lorez , which bought rig gave you most confidence / best hook holds ? . Why not take that rig and then buy the components to tie that rig yourself , unless it looks particularly tricky / costly , and you would be better off just buying ready mades ? . Personally I have never liked tying up rigs , I always seem to be putting it off ! . 😃

That's a beautiful wallet , Highy . 😀

Can you post a review of the Pallatrax Grips please Kev. ; IMO it would be good to have a review of beaked points to go along with Welders and Smufter reviews of straight points . 😀
-
No , sorry , I've never seen anything like that before , good luck finding some . 😀
-
Have you looked at the ESP Cryogen range , Kev. ? , maybe a Grip Rigger if the ESP blurb is to be believed . I'm not fishing a weedy lake at the moment , so unfortunately I can't give a personal recommendation . 😃

Well if they have a mini submarine to go in . 😁

Yes and laughing their socks off , which is why you don't see any fish wearing socks . 😁

Just adding to what Framey has already said ; I once bought a Delkin because a lot of people rave about them , but I sold it and my Fox Micron M's do what I want just fine . If later on your needs change the Micron's are cheap enough to keep as back ups . Watch out that it's not you that gets " caught " by some of the fishing companies hype ! . 😃

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 😃
