The management has given me the green light to go Thursday evening now, so I'm well happy getting 3 nights on my new resi venue!!ย No I haven't tried them today, last time I was on I fished with zigs because I could see a lot of fish on top but they weren't interested, so I changed to bottom baits and wafters and started getting runs within 20 minutes of the change. This is a new water for me so I'm still learning it yet mate.ย And to be honest I haven't ever caught anything on a zigs and I struggle with confidence with them but I suppose if I don't use them I won't get the confidence.ย I've had a small common so at least it isn't a blank, stillplenty of time yet. ๐๐๐ฃ Edited June 15, 2020 by finchey elmoputney, ... and commonly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpyian Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 see my thinking on zigs if the carp are all showing in the upper layes of the water id rather have a zig out infront of them rather than a bottom bait and had some nice fish on zigs and also if you do decide to give them a good go dont forget winter toย finchey and commonly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
