muftyboy Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Put a few floaters out in the scum. Carp love it. crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smufter Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Gave up and came home early in the end. The scum on that swim got worse and worse as the day progressed. Lots of catkins and blossom falling off the nearby trees, you could hardly get your line through it in the end, and the catkins, once wet, were clinging to your line and clogging up the eyes of the rods. Never mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Finally managed to get on some fish this weekend after a savage 12 night blank run over the course of the spring. It's been rammed every time I've been and I've really struggled to get near any carp. I'd started believing my new net was cursed as it's not seen a fish since I bought it. On the last morning just as I was deciding that I can't catch carp, I'm a rubbish angler, and everything I've ever caught has been complete luck, I got a take. It weeded me up badly but at least the curse of the new net was broken. With the curse gone it took me 20 seconds to get my next bite as the other rod roared off. Got this one in without issues, a lovely mustard coloured common with a big rudder at 25 lb. Back to the weeded up fish. It wasn't coming out so we got the boat and managed to free it that way. It got itself in another weedbed so we freed it again. After a total of maybe 25 minutes I managed to bundle this big ball of weed in the net. Inside I found....... a 14 lb stocky. Lol. No monsters but very happy indeed to be off the mark at long last. spr1985, snowmanstevo, greekskii and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of my session even if I'd hooked a Carp my tip ring would have got jammed up on the retrieve as you said . I fished yesterday as that was my rotating day off this week ; too hot , too bright , and the wind died , but today 🙄. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completed! It’s a shame some are so bad. Then there’s fish like the leather my mate had. Only evidence of a hook hold was the one from his hook. Not even a healed one. So how often does that fish come out! Still some gems in there. nigewoodcock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
