Apparently not as much as i should have 😂 my plan to go tonight quickly fell by the wayside as I still ached significantly today.

Ah , the warrior returns home triumphant 💪 .
It's been very entertaining waking up in the morning reading about your latest news , thanks very much .

Awesome mate. I stayed on there an extra year trying to catch the Patch Common but it was not to be. It never came out again so I think I was fishing for a dead'n!!
I was lucky enough to catch Scaley. Twice in fact. What a kipper that was!

 

I came home Friday evening mate, rain was on its way and is in for the next couple days so packed up while it was dry 👍🤣 
I had a wicked session though mate. Really pleased that I got to fish there and having them 2 mirrors just topped it off 👊 met some cool people and the bailiffs were wicked as well
I need to sort my fishing gear out and try and slim it down a bit, I took 2 barrow loads on that trip and didn't use half the stuff I took 🤣

A few from Kingy last week, 4 fish in shot, were loads in the snags.

2 from a previous syndicate, both mega fish Patch Common and Scaley mid 40 and mid 30.

Needs must mate. I used to use a biscuit tin lid and a couple of coins on the spool way back as did a lot of angler’s, now if they could replicate the sound of that on an alarm il buy a set. I bought the rods in while I slept… one of the pegs went flying this morning but it was pigeon hopping over the lines 🙄

That's two Mirrors = 2 free nights now , isn't it ? /
😁

Giving this a bump in June I did the million step challenge and did 600,000 steps by myself my team came 2nd and I was 5th individually(first 4 were ringers😂) , now a few of us at work are doing a weightloss challenge, I am doing an intermittent fasting diet presently and today I have joined a gym 😲 the winner gets £300 (we've all paid £50)
My starting weight was 126.7kg in down to 125kg so far and I've got till December. The walking challenge made me realise how competitive I can be😲, I'm bringing the heat now 😂

This is my years walking, so far not including Feb, reckon I join the proclaimers with that lot. 😂

Well that looks like a creative solution to your problem , BB .
😃

Guess what I forgot this morning …

Will I win with my new groundsheet/outdoor rug ? 😳😂
Hi lux camping for me 😂

7lb 8oz mirror, buzzing 👌 fish number 24 👍
 

It was dead quiet all day yesterday, really sunny and no wind. 
Then had 4 takes thru the night, first 3 was literally minutes apart, lost 1 but landed 2, then, got the rods back out and had another take but lost it. 
Just had another run this morning taking the total to 21 👍stopped weighing them and taking photos, only use them if something big or a mirror comes along 🤣

Thanks, the fishing is that good mate I'm tempted to book friday/saturday/Sunday night as well, found an animal feeds supplier so can get some flaked maize if needed 👍👊
Thanks mate 👍 
I was under the impression it was fishing to see what it holds because they used the word "trial", but yeah this reservoir is owned by South West Lakes and they will only allow carp fishing for the removal of carp because they were illegally stocked (by carp anglers I assume, there's been some stories lol)
It's to improve the water to keep it as a trout fishery. They have refused to open it up permanently as a carp water 🫤
The fish caught are being used to stock other trust/club course fisheries that they own and the small stuff are being sold on for revenue for the trust as well.
I wasn't sure how I felt about it all at first, because you're removing them from their original water, but if it helps the other trust waters i fish I suppose I'm all for it really.
Also fishing here has been like a dream for me, always seen it on the maps but never been able to fish it, now being able to is just awesome 👌
I know the lake that mirror is going in so would be nice to try and catch it in a few years time 👍
 
Anyway I've had 18 fish so far, reeled in last night at midnight to get a couple hours solid sleep. Feeling it today, got the wind blowing in my face, rods are out and some more bait 👊

🥳
Well that Mirror's got to be worth an additional night for free 🤔
👍

Finally got that mirror 👊

They are on it today, caught one pretty much on the drop, just as I put my bobbin on it ripped off, then the other rod went a couple minutes later, haven't put any bait out this morning 🤣
Biggest of the two this morning was just over 12lb 👍

Getting bigger again, 15lb 12oz, there's a change in colour in the fish, looks wicked 👌
Fish number 12 lol

Thanks mate, really enjoying it here so far 👍 
Yes mate it's going really well, theres something about big waters and not knowing whats in there that does it for me 👍
I have had 10 fish so far and only had the rods out for just over 24 hours 👍 
Just had my biggest at 15lb 4oz 👌

 
They really are hard fighting fish, this one was unstoppable to start with, peeling line off and kiting to the right, they feel like right monsters 🤣

That sounds like real fun. Like you I'd be absolutely chuffed to bits catching from there, although obviously that 20lb fish would really be the icing.
 
Never believe you will fail. Every barrier can be jumped or climbed over. 
The harder it seems to do, the more you enjoy every reward.
