My local has spawned twice this year already and its driving me nuts, both times it kicked off early hours when I was booked on 🤷‍♂️🤣

Can anyone suggest an air compressor for a 8kg extruder? From my understanding I need an 8 bar one that is oil free. I'm not too sure on the tank size though. Also, does low noise/silent ones work as efficiently as a normal one? Thanks 👍

Excuse the legs 🤣 Been feeding a pair of Robins on the last few seasons and I'm sure they've been taking the food back to a nest 👌 its got to a point where they come to the door and wait for me to give them something 🤣

I roll mine right down to the wellie and have them infront of the bedchair so as I get off the bed I step into them and pull then up as I get out the bivvy. If it's one of them bites where it's just a few beeps I get the waders on without issue. When it's a one toner I'm running out the door in my socks 🤣 it's a real struggle trying to grab them from the door with a rod in your hand 🤦‍♂️🤣

Well... 18mm roller, 8kg extruder & auto cutter 🤙 Hopefully have it going by the weekend, just need to sort an air compressor out 👍

Upper tamar reservoir has 2 sheds, one on the Devon bank, the other on the Cornwall bank, they are basically a concrete base and a shed on top lol. Good head of carp in there 👍 I think Stafford Moor fishery has a lake with lodges on and a decent fish, might be worth having a look 👍 Also check the catch app mate, pretty sure you can change the settings on accommodation 👍

Never really had to deal with weed before, do you fish in the weed or like find holes?

Agreed. The forecast for my 6 drip was dry.. spent half the trip with the door down because of driving rain 🤣🤣

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 🤣
