Well done , Nick . A “ Double Whammy “ then , not only did you catch one from your tricky syndicate , but it was also one of the originals . I hope the pain from your shoulder didn’t take the shine off your capture ? ; I can imagine the pain you are in from the way you have your neck pulled back into your shoulders like a tortoise 😄 😃

Thanks very much Greekskii , Nick , Emmcee , and Carpbell3 , your answers are as Emmcee said " ... a bit of food for thought " . 😃

Hi Everyone At my lake there's a gravel ( ? ) bar that runs from one set of Lilies to another . So would the Carp follow the top of the bar ( assuming they felt the need to travel from one set of lilies to the other ) , or the bottom of the bar where presumably natural food ( plus some boilies ) have gathered ? . Ta 😃

Hello Everyone I have a Korum Supa Lite Fast Mat , but recently I have caught a couple of Carp edging towards the 20lb mark , and as it's possible that the waters I fish may produce a 30lber . So do I upgrade to a Fast Mat XL , or something else ? . Ta 😃

It may have been Nick that said something like " fish only need enough water to cover their backs ? " .

Rig and tactics for margin fishing on an unfamiliar lake
crusian replied to Tuckab's topic in UK Carp Fishing
Hi Newmarket I wonder if the 30 who don't fish are waiting for those 10-14lb Carp to grow into 20s , and then memberships may become hard to come by . 🤔 -
I used to just go floater fishing armed just with a bag , rod , mat and landing net ; only taking a seat and ledger rod if the weather looked as though nothing could be tempted on the surface . However getting older with a manual job sometimes I just want to plonk myself down in a swim , and set up shop . So am I enjoying my fishing more these days 🤔 .

Thank you for your beautiful post , Barry . I find that as I get older I'm getting grumpier , and too quick to jump to the wrong conclusions 😔 . I would like to think even I would have worked out what was happening , and now your timely post has given me a kick up the bum to put my brain in gear . 😃

Have you been to the Doctors ,because I know it sounds daft , but I'm sure I've heard of someone having a bit of coral growing in their ear ? . West Ham were robbed ! . 🤬

Excellent stuff , the both of you . I wonder which gives you the most satisfaction , TJ enjoying himself , or you catching a " monster " ? . 😃

Hello B33Troot What an epic first post ! . I'm looking forward to following your journey , and who knows I may even be able to answer a question or two if / when you have them . 😃

A 50lb Carp in Suffolk ! 😮

So how deep into Essex did you have to go to catch that beauty , Blue. ? . 😃

Like the way you have backlight the Carp’s tail , Highy . 😃

Well done Nick , a double whammy - a new P.B. , and the Otters haven't decimated that stretch of the River ; are you still on the River , Nick ? . I noticed the other day that there's a Facebook group " Save The Gipping " , maybe you are on there already ? . 😃
-
So if you can’t see any signs of the Carp where do people think they might be ? . Maybe in the deepest part of the lake where there is more oxygen ( ? ) , compared to the shallows ? ; or does the time of day alter things ? . 🤔

Did you ever work out the answer to your question , Elmo ? . I'm asking as I've just started using the RidgeMonkey Hook Ring Bait Screws , but l'm wondering should I use say an ESP Plastic Bait Screw that doesn't spin ? . 🤔
-
That's an interesting question , Highy , I'm looking forward to someone providing the answer . 🤔
-
Well I think you could give me a run for my money , Elmo , you big cuddly Teddy Bear . 😁

I'll have to shave my legs then so I can wear my Mankini . 😁
