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 🙈

The weather was against us tbh mate & its known as a tricky lake. I came away actually not to disheartened as I felt I actually read the lake & conditions well . There was a pressure change due Thursday Dropping down from 1022 to 1009 , so I put all 3 rods on a spot & felt sure I would get a chance to save the blank & bank a proper unit . The change came late afternoon Thursday still no sign of feeding fish! I was up before light on the Friday ( last day ) & sure enough there were on it crashing all over me felt sure I was going to get a take at any point .... bobbins were dancing with liners , but never got a pick up 🙈 , they had decided to feed an hour or so before the pressure started to rise again as soon as it did they shut up shop & with that my chance had gone . That's fishing eh .

I can see up to Tuesday next week & looking a little milder than its been ... pressure also starts dropping Monday afternoon & moon phases are is good as it gets all week , not seen any catch reports this week the lads the week before had two fish out all week between 4 of them (1st openingweek ). There's only two of us going so plenty of options to move etc the lakes 6 acres. Forest view carp lake near limoges, first time going to this particular venue so going blind so to speak .

Thanks mate 👍 Your not supposed to take any bait since we left the EU .... but from what I understand its just something there not policing. Might hide the worms behind most of the kit though Every time I've been to France fishing I've been pulled out of the line & searched.... not that i look dodgy or anything

Save it for the social I'll have my bucket of water ready

Hi mate .... would of thought the fairest way to go about it is to stay on after ? All turn up at roughly the same time .... couple of laps of the lake then do the draw ? Number 1 gets first pick number 6 /7 the last & trust me coming out last isn't always a bad thing . Its gone beyond a joke with the guys i regularly have socials with as I always pick the last choice 🙈 but like I said not always a bad thing 😉🎣 we should all have an acre or so of water if we are clever looking at the lake . What does everyone think ?
