Fingers crossed for you Ouch. 

My trip has been postponed for a fortnight.

I've managed to get a good mate & very good angler I know, a winter ticket.Hopefully improve the knowledge & get onto the fish. 

My usual buddy hasn't been since all his gear got nicked at Xmas.

Out for another overnighter tonight, got the lake to myself, wind was hacking into my face, moon is looking full, nice drizzle earlier, carp poking their heads out… fingers crossed I get one. Lakes been fishing poor recently. E36B3CD3-BFFA-42FC-9596-2239C2007A9B.thumb.jpeg.be8f538429fd1b256308990cbaafdbae.jpeg

That was about as exciting as that night got, blanked, I did have some fizzing over my right hand spot then but that's as close as I got, made a right mess of it tbh, should've gone in another swim but etiquette made me choose this one away from the only 2 anglers on the lake there were still fish present but finding spots seemed to send them away,then it was just a bit of a rush job, someone else(a vangler) went in that swim just before dusk and had one within an hour 😢

Annoyed with myself now, and also in deep thought about why I haven't got the same enthusiasm for the place anymore? I've not had the drive and I don't think I've been able to get anything going this year, we shall see might just have a rest from it for a bit and see if that returns

Todays venue is a small, snaggy old gravel pit. Fished small pva bags, 1oz leads on 5” braided hooklinks tight to the margins just off the reeds. 1DE49E77-FE09-4F3F-B9FB-13BE35B32477.thumb.jpeg.270322c0c2c5dd56cfe40e2d7c23cdde.jpeghad a lil un and a few 5-6lb bream
