This was a few days into my trip, weather was lovely and caught me right out, sunburn on the head, ears and nose 🤣🤣

Another little mirror 👍 I'm home now, yesterday it rained relentlessly from around 11am all the way until 6am this morning, was driving towards the door so had the door down all day and night 💤🤣 had 2 wicked battles in the night, wading out into choppy water with waves riding up my waders, big wind and heavy rain, loved it 🤣 There's was a break in the rain this morning so packed up and got out of there before the next lot hits which is due to last until late Monday, so called it quits lol. Caught 5 carp in the end, 3 commons and 2 mirrors. 16mm white sticky krill pop ups done produced the most bites, so gonna have to up my game and start giving pop ups a try on different venues lol There's some cracking fish in there and I can't wait to return in September 👍 Now have the task of drying everything out 🤣

I had to get one of the tail as well lol

I thought that mate, there's a right mix of carp in here. Some wicked shapes to the commons too lol. Yeah gonna have to mate might stay on to Monday now 🤣

Yeah mate it only had half a tail lol, buzzing 👍 I can't upload the proper photos because they are too big, so it's just a screenshot lol

12lb, lovely looking fish 👌

Bites have been slow on bottom baits so chucked out a white krill pop up on a slip d and it's produced a fish in a matter of hours 👍🤣 Got a small lovely mirror in the sling. Just waiting for the rain to ease and will get some pics 👍👍

Determined to catch a few more before I go tomorrow. Might even stay on until Monday 🤣

Sealed my waders with fantastic elastic flexible glue, £1.59 from poundland, it's done the job 👌 My mate had to go home on day 4 for work, but I stuck it out. My session has been saved by a small common tonight 👍 Happy days 👍

My mate has a new pb of 14lb 10oz 😆

Yeah mate got frost this morning and its bittter 🤣. My mate has had another 2, potential pb in the sling...I've had nothing 🤣

Yeah I will mate 👍 its been slow, nothing since my mate had his. Just gonna keep grinding away 🤣

My mate had his first one this morning, just over 11lb. Wicked looking fish, would love to know what strains are in here, there deffo seems to be some difference in the shapes etc. I'd like to think it could be a decent fish when it's older lol.

Thanks I will give it a go 👍🤣 It's been quiet since we got here, lost one this morning but nothing since. they are showing but don't seem to be on the feed so I've put a zig out with some black foam👍

Hmm lol so last time I fished here the water was high and you had to have your tips high to clear the bushes etc. So brought a little fold up saw with me to chop them down a little. Wades out and starts cutting them down under water, only gone and nicked my waders with the saw 🤣 It's put a small hole in the left leg. Question is, will a puncture repair kit patch it? It's pretty much a pin prick but the water is getting in and giving me a wet sock 🤣 Any suggestions on a bank side bodge would be great 🤣

Instead of 5 nights starting Monday, going tomorrow night as well now 🤣 Chest freezer half full with prepped hemp/tigers/maize, with another some bigger tigers soaking. Also got a 15kg sack of flaked maize, 4.5l of the hemp ĵuice water it was cooked in to soak the particles when it's thawed out. Thinking of adding some condensed milk to help it cloud up a bit 🤔 Going to have a go with the adjustable zig on one rod because last time they were showing but not really on the feed, wondering if they are higher up in the water? Also taking my mate with me who's new to fishing for carp, so main mission will be to get him one on the bank lol As I'm writing this I've just remembered to pack the binos 🤣

Allpowers is are good for the money 👍

Yeah mate I will be using them from now on, they've got a lot of basemix ingredients to play with as well 👌

Think you've deleted your reply mate 😆

My first order from aa baits 👍 loving the size of the xxl tigers 🤣

Spot on mate, never used anything except a decent bag tbh. When I got into night fishing a bivvy heater was never really spoke of lol, now you're seeing things on Facebook where people are using diesel heaters etc, madness lol I like the hot water bottle idea though 👍

I'm a delivery driver, love meeting the customers dogs, even bring treats with me 🤣🤣

If you have power tools you can get a USB adapter for the batteries, about £10 I think, I think mine hold about 2 phone charges each. Also have the allpowers r600 with a 100w solar panel for long sessions. Haven't used the panel yet but the battery is a beast and haven't been able to use it all up on a trip yet 🤣

A syringe/needle puncturing the skin I think mate
