Can we sort the terms for Ashmire? I'm bringing mine

From the stamp of fish you are getting, it would appear the trout fisherman have asked the club to get some carp guys in to see why their always catching these little hungry carp & perhaps affecting the bite/catch rate.??? I'm no expert, but from my very limited knowledge, some reservoirs don't have enough predators to keep the natural balance. So some species can start to take over. There's been talk of the need for more pike, sturgeon, cats basically any hungry predator to keep the nuisance species in check on a few big waters near me. The closest one, everyone I know says they get loads of cricket bat commons around 4-12lb. That used to be a trout only res. Now a carp syndicate. Try to drill the bailiffs and suss what their plans (or the purpose of this experiment is, or,) are for the water. If they are really cagey, I'd suggest finding another ticket. If they're nice as pie, hang in there, as it must have a few chunks at that size water.

Is it available on the carp.com shop mate???? Hopefully it would be cheaper in English £'s than the European currency?

Sorry @Highy I didnt check auto correct earlier??? The albeit or, Albright knot is the neatest by far with the Armakord imo. & not to difficult to tie Fishspy!!

No issues at all. It's been on for about 5 years. I used to always cast out the fishery which is quite heavy. Albeit knot to 20lb banana braid. I use the quick change loop knots, which are really handy for changing to a float or whatever

Unexpected 48. Mrs said as long as oi take my 11 year old. He's loving spombing out the bait. Happy days

Yes mate, that sounds right. I'm around that weight. Better night's sleep than my normal bed.

I had the wide Avid memory foam, when it first came out. Not cheap £250, but amazing comfort. Got nicked out my garage 🥺 Got given one after the break in. Seems OK, better than a few others ive tried & trashed. Definitely, not as comfy as the Avid. I always find with my bulk I have to stretch the bungee chord every now and then when I hit the frame. As above the Sonik rods I've had are prone to falling apart. I tried to claim on the lifetime guarantee and get ignored. I wouldn't waste my money on their kit. Buy cheap, buy twice & all that

No boats??? You've got a mission there mate... I haven't been very successful on my res which is half the size. So, I'm only offering a suggestion. If you only have a month, I'd say plenty of prebaiting to try and get a few spots going. I got a few bites when I was prebaiting with 10k a time, a week and a few days before fishing. Boilies may not pay off if the fish haven't seen them before, so definitely try tigers. Will they let you on for a month again next year? It seems an unusual scenario?? Good luck

I found yge same with another well known brand. After first outing it went like bed springs. Awful line. I hope you have better luck mate

Next level!!! https://www.youcanrobot.com/?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_uGmBhBREiwAeOfsdxszI8LOZuGCZpp49XWO48M0G2pzlgiglgTt2UjdomaEDAQF-M3B7BoChvkQAvD_BwE Might have to save up for this one

Good luck mate

Just watched how to. Genius! I was wondering where I was going to get the Twig from??? No need now. Cheers Kev.

I dont understand why that is? Surely a barbed hook should have more damage to a fishes mouth than spring loaded rig??? This element which apparently sets the hook nicely, would be better than damage that may be caused when the fish try to eject a standard rig? I'll try it on 1 rod until I'm told I can't.. Ali appeared genuine about this bit of kit, from what I could tell. Don't know him from Adam, but from the underwater footage, it would appear to be a game changer imo.

Looks worth a try. I heard its been banned on a few waters already. Not sure why??

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
