Had this belter this morning 👍 27lb 14oz, first carp from a new complex👍

New bait done well, multiple tench and my first carp from the complex at 27lb 14oz 👍

Sadly caught it on the carp gear mate, ripped off like a carp as well 🤣 but yeah really pleased with it and has made my session so far 👍

Pb tench for me at 6lb 6oz 👌

Thanks yonny I'll give them a miss 👍 I think im gonna get a set of waterproof trousers and a jacket, I find the gear I got keeps me warm enough but it's not waterproof lol. My biggest issue is feet and I'm a struggling with what to wear lol. The lake I'm on at the moment the swims are flooded, I can get away with wellies but wearing them for most of the day and not getting cold damp feet is a struggle 🤣 can you recommend anything that I can put in them lol, I've got these socks designed for wellies but they don't seem that good lol.

Exactly that mate, when I'm having a chat about it, I just show them a picture of it and say this is the one I'm after 👍🤣

Biggest known common in our res is called nuggies common 🤣🤣

Water keeps rising 🤣 dry day today so should be off later 👍 no fish to report other than a tench 🤣

Brilliant mate, a 1 large egg mix works out to be able 135g of basemix I believe but i think i made it a little too dry last time , so will try 1 medium egg, 10g egg white powder and 100g basemix 👍 just gonna roll them into balls with my hand 👍

Got this from tesco mate, will work it out for a 2 egg mix to test tomorrow 👍 I really like to be using the same hookbait as to what I'm feeding lol, I've got some essential cell hard hookers for backup though mate 👍

Appreciate that mate will see what I can get 👍👍

Thanks for the replies guys 👍 I will get some bits ordered 👍is there anything I could do as a quick fix for a session tomorrow? I have left over semo, soya flour, corn flour, wheatgerm if it helps? Or could I boil and dry them for longer?

I might have to adjust the basemix a little or boil the hookbaits for a bit longer, I find they take on water quite quick and breakdown, ideal in the spod mix but as a hookbait I'm not so sure. After being on the rig for a couple hours you could squeeze them and they just go to mush lol. I've only done it as I'll be on the bank pretty much all the time for the next few weeks so just being able to nip home and grab a few bags will be ideal 🤙I've got bags of tigers, pigeon conditioner, maize and hemp in the freezer ready to go 👍👍

Been prepping some particles over the last couple days, freezer full, some in the fridge and two full buckets over 👍🤣

I use an allpowers r600, charges my phone the same speed as it would via mains at home 👍 also has a wireless charger on top, when I use it it comes up on my phone that it's using wireless fast charge 👍 its a bit of a beast/bulky but will keep all my devices charged for a 5 days+ without recharging it. You can also get a solar panel for it so you can charge it up on the bank (haven't needed to use mine yet so can't comment on speed) If I remember correctly it only takes a couple hours to charge it at home 👍

15kg sack of flaked maize, lots of bird life and silvers bream etc on my new water so gonna get them to clear my spot 🤣🤣

Got a link for that mate and would it crush cooked tigers?

What its like in behind @elmoputney 👍

Abit fresh this morning, gas ain't working properly 🤣

Was a bit ropey screwing the bivvy down this morning as it was still a bit windy 👍🤣

Yeah mate tbf I'm on the one that is further out, the others are cut off with snags etc so each one has its own area to fish 👍 I'll get some pictures when I leave mate there's snags everywhere to the right of me 🤣

Yeah mate really nice place to fish from 👍 it's a new water for me and totally different to the reservoirs I fish so its a bit of a learning curve, got weed beds, lillies, lots of snags, clay spots, gravel bars etc. I'm on a clear spot 10 wraps out and fishing to that has been a challenge as I've been used to casting the rod as hard as I can 🤣 I plan on fishing to the snags when I get a better idea of the lake, but will settle for open spots until then, I'll also need to up my line to a fluro or braid I think. Also need to finesse my rigs and go a bit smaller lol So I'm fishing the top end of the lake mate which was flooded to make the lake bigger, there's no swims as the water just goes into the trees etc, looks like mangroves 🤣 at the top there's 4 platforms that go out of sticks for you to fish from 👍 You can also feel the platform rock when you move 😬🤣
