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 . 😃

Thank goodness your mate is recovering , Nick . What about what Dave Hedgehog wrote , how are you after the shock of it all Nick ? . 😀

I'll leave the technical stuff to the others , just to say " tight lines , Ginger , go get them " . 😃

You're a better man than he will ever be , Emmcee , he deserved a right slap . I think I would have had a hissy fit and made a fool of myself . 😢
-
Did you manage to salvage anything from your trip ? .
-
Where are you now Mufty ? .
-
😬 that's described as a grimacing face .

My Wife took pain killers for 9 years for her back , 13 different physios. didn't help , but 4 visits to an Osteopath 5 years ago and has never needed another tablet since - and no pain . 😃
-
How's your back Chill. ? , have the muscles relaxed , or are they still locked up ? . Presumably it was all that long casting and long distance baiting that did it ? . There's a lot to be said for being rubbish at casting , and sticking to the margins ! . 😁

Can you tell us more please Buzz. ? . If I remember correctly ! my Mum was on tramadol before she had a hip operation . 😃

While you're putting the insulation in , Highy , how much will the jacuzzi weigh when it's filled with water ? . 😃
-
You're a clever little devil aren't you , Highy . I like the look of that jacuzzi to relax in after a stressful days' fishing . 😃
-
Cheers , Yonny . 👍
-
Did you try any floaters , trout pellets , mixers etc ? . If you did Capadventurer I don't know what more you could have done , and as you say you did enjoy the sun ! . 😃

Hello Yonny Are you still " Tuffing it out " ? . It wasn't until I read one of Smufters' posts that I learnt about Berkley Connect CM90 and CM70 - how do you rate these lines as a snag line please ? . Ta . 😃
