Depending on the weather and were the fish are really, if there cruising on top I'll probably put them on both rods but if there's no signs it will be bottom baits for me. 😁👍 Highy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh92 Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 The weather has been lovely today, done a couple deliveries in the sticks and gone past a few ponds which you could see some fish near the surface. It's gave me the urge to get the rods out again. Thinking about going to the reservoir this weekend and trying for a carp👌 it'll just been finding them in 91 acres of water 😆 finchey, Highy and B B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Rod n dog shot in one, planning to get to the island, there had been a swan bullying the gease he was watching that, then as i was spombing the swan came over and pecked the staging for a dropped bait, fred flew at it and snapped the catches on his coat, it's just a cheap on from BM, he stopped on the very edge of the platform and saw the swan off. so i popped his harness over his coat and went to sort the spomb rod out, just seen a blue flash fly into the lake and start heading for the island where the swan went. shocked him a bit due to how heavy the coat got. he did make to the island just, the swim back was a struggle and yes i would of went in if need be.
