I missed a run early doors, didn't get to my rod in time, but other than that, zilch. 3 other guys on the lake while we were there, all blanked. Reckon they are going to spawn soon.

Hello Smufter That's disappointing , but I guess at least you were with Libby and at White Cottage which I know you love just being there - so a double whammy really , o.k. so a triple whammy would have been better ! . If everyone blanked , like you say spawning could well have been on the Carp's mind , pity would can't go off to France now , then come back when the Carp have spawned , rested and be feeling like a bit of a munch . 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmcee Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Well first time fishing for a month, managed to prebait a swim last night and as soon as one turned up there were fish showing over the spot. Suffice tio say it didn't take long for one of the rods to spring into life with this 32lb 06oz mirror chillfactor, yonny, snowmanstevo and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmcee Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Turning into a nice return to the lake for me. Topped up with 2 x litre buckets of particle and 2kg of boilies after the first fish and it's paid off with this 43-05 mirror yonny, chillfactor, smufter and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very active way of fishing. 99% of the lads on my water chuck out “the token zig” ......... a black n white normally at 3/4 depth and reel in after an hr or so fishless,and long may that continue. There leaving me with a massive edge 🤔🤔😉😉😆😆 nigewoodcock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LACarper Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I did a 3 night session on my local club waters. I went on a lake that is fairly easy but had a lot of small ones in. I managed 8, that were mainly small, but had 2 over 21lb so was chuffed to bits with the results yonny, ianain, chillfactor and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you want! 😂 I caught a bream early hours. But I was expecting as much now I’m off the estate. I did see a few fish on the reserve so a few hrs next Saturday evening it is to see if I can sneak a fish before the serious campaign starts yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
