Also a bit of a milestone for me, first fish caught on a bolt rig. I have a friend who fishes around Redwood Falls , MN. and he won't have his boat out of storage until April , but I guess where you are is much warmer . I don't usually fish in January , but reading the posts on this forum I believe the guys that do fish in January say it's the toughest month ; so if you and Smufter have caught in January and have sorted your bait and rigs out that's got to be looking really encouraging for when Spring arrives - Yonny mentions March in another post as the time when Carp get the munchies .

Ginger9991 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Well I had a 2 night session booked for my current target lake, would have been my longest session on there.... so typically it’s closed for otter fencing. Theres a bit of a gem round the corner from there on a day ticket so I spent my 2 nights there, it became quickly apparent that bite time was from 4pm onwards with the day light hours being a waste of time. I fished 19 wraps to an island in 2.5tc Rods my arms were knackered by the end but it was well worth it. 6 fish including this 29lb below, considering it was freezeing at night, bright sky’s during the day, I was chuffed just to catch. A 29lb,15lb 2 about 8l and 2 that probably didn’t go 10lb combined! Happy days TnCarper, spr1985, finchey and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Match man owns it so his put a lot of smaller carp and F1's in there that can be a pain but theres some really nice 20's and a few 30's in there as well. A really nice fishery but its £25 a night and being a day ticket you get a few "bad anglers" on there. Worth a visit...Dont think it would be fun in the summer at the weekend! crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to give it a go at some point, just a case of fitting it in around the club lakes and my bayeswater mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the weather might have finally warmed up enough by March 14th for wimpy anglers like me to venture out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spr1985 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I spent the day moving and burning willow tree off cuts that Gary had been cutting down. I did gain some valuable info though and some likely areas that the carp seem to come from....confirmed most of what I already knew from speaking to others really. Ill be doing a 24hr soon as I finish work Friday so hopefully I will be able to update at some point Friday night/Saturday morning 😁 yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as Cris Ian quite rightly pointed out I’m “nutty” enough to find out....if I get to the lake and it has a lid I’ll take the ten minute trip back home 😁 if it doesn’t I’ll pitch up and try my luck muftyboy and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was supposed to be going Friday the 2nd but the lakes are already frozen so doubt it will get any better by then. Looks like I'm going the pub instead.
