Had a great few days .... absolute pleasure meeting you all . & big thanks again to elmo for organising it 👍. commonly has pretty much covered the fishing side of things .... did fancy my chances when the wind changed & I moved, but should think the otter in my swim killed any chance of a carp . Well that's what I'm telling my self 🙄 Still great to get out & meet new people 😎 Big congrats to lads that did manage a carp 👏

3 bites ....3 tench for me so far 🙈 Certainly not been giving them selves away. The most carp we've seen , unfortunately have been in a section of the lake only accessible by boat & none of us realised you had to bring your own to get to the swim .... kev was even online looking at buying one 😂 I've moved this morning , new warm wind so moved right into the teeth of it into the corner its hacking into . . Certainly more confident now than I have been . Proper weedy though so presentation is tricky. Fingers crossed 🤞

Just heading out now to do a food shop mate... vans pretty much packed . Looking forward to meeting you in the morning & a walk around the lake . With the shape of it , should make for an interesting draw & swim choice I reckon . 👍

100% mate ...never fished a venue that does this .

Mate .... I joined a sydi years back .... deep mere up in Shropshire so it was a good 2.5 hours away , but the fish were stunning . I absolutely loved zig fishing there, it went down to 30ft & 12ft zigs seem to work a treat . Before the renewal came around they announced zigs were to band . I just knew it would do my head in watching the birds hit the hatch knowing that a zig would produce but couldn't fish them . So didn't rejoin.... real shame as I love the lake & the fish .

Awesome stuff gents 😎🎣

Nice session that mate .... could be an awesome carp venue in a few years 😎 Those fish were definitely stocked at some point , I wonder what the long term plan is ? Carp venue ? or growing fish to sell on & maybe letting a few anglers on to let them know how there doing .... certainly cheaper & less stress on the trout than netting .

Well , had 4 days planned at churn pool with 3 other mates arrived Monday feeling fine , but by Monday night was feeling like death warmed up sickness/ shivering/ aching all over. So had to reel the rods in & they didn't go back out. back home now in bed wondering what a good session it could of been as I did manage to catch before the sickness kicked in . Managed to brake my run of blanks which I'm happy about , but I know it could of been a blinder ,just my luck at the moment it seems 🙈

Well been through some of my old photos & its actually reminded me how lucky I've been in the past to catch some of the fish I have , hopefully going to get out fishing more this year 🤞
