Sorry, Nick...

It would appear on some waters it would be easier to catch a bird, than a carp😄

Did you ask him? @dalej2014

@salokcinnodrog Nick is @welder a mod? I know he was keen to go with his son. Is there anyway of reaching out to him? Thanks

I know what you mean. I have turned fish on by using the gardener rake. They come in within 5 minutes on smaller waters. I've tried this numerous times on the reservoir ticket and had nothing at all. Zigs, bottom baits they stay away🤯

I have a feeling its nuisance species. No crays on the res that I know of. Its a bit frustrating when I've sat behind the rod for a good few hours. 12-24 if I know my traps are set ok. The Biomass was well above average last year. The pike and perch have done well, with no cats, zander or sturgeon. Hard hookbaits for the snowman, usually come back in ok. Just no carp on the end since last year. Looking forward to the social where hopefully have a chance if a few fish in front of me🫰🙏

Happens to me sometimes. Never really a particular hook bait, but always on a snowman??? The pop is always fine

Sounds like you should book onto the social in September!!! If I don't book my fishing in, it'd never happen. I believe we all need our relaxation time.

C'mon Nick. As far as english carp fishing goes, a wrap is generally considered 12ft. Not metric measurements. Same as weigh our fish in pounds and ounces, not kilos. We dipped our toe into European measurements, but unfortunately it's the British way to do things the hard way. God save the pound! I mean Queen. Oops I meant King 🤴

@chillfactor @welder @kevtaylor If you guys are in (welder +1) that leaves one space? Thanks gents

I'm in🎣

Glad to be out. Loads of BS at work & family, so feels a real tonic to be here

Ouchhh!!

I suggest by the end of the week for this venue. Or, look into Horsehoe .? The M25 onevis very easy for me. I'd just be happy to get it booked ASAP.

Good shout Chill I'm sure we have friends on the forum that know the guys there. I'd enjoy a trip there for sure

I gave up pre pandemic. If we haven't heard by the weekend, may I suggest we find an alternative??

At least the shop wasn't affected... I thought it was shut down for good

Nice one Kev. What a session, I bet you're grinning from ear to ear?? Well done fella

Where does the time go??? I go through the diary with her indoors and book fishing weekends for the next few months. If I didn't, I wouldn't get out either.

Any news @elmoputney???

New leisure battery for the motor. Turns out it was that was nackered, not the motor. Fuming!

I'm told it's 2 miles from sailing club to the out of bounds swim.

New motor turned up today. A bit gutted I couldn't get the 68lb thrust. Seemingly out of stock everywhere (typical!) Battery connections aren't great on their battery box

55lb thrust Bison electric outboard motor,with Bison 12v battery unit. Previous one gave up after just 2 years of occasional use., out of warranty 😔

Nope! It would be nice to get it confirmed and paid for. Perhaps the new Carp.com shop would provide a few prizes for top rod & biggest fish🫣
