Then went yesterday evening for a few hours to a small fenced lake, had a run and went into a snag on the corner of the island🤦♂️ I’m just pleased I managed to get my rig etc back and not snapping off on the fish. Gonna go ago this evening and try again 👍 Carpmaster, finchey and commonly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jab I had this morning I didn’t even feel the needle go in, couple hours later on starting to get a dead arm feeling. 😂 fished for 3 hours this morning fish didn’t want to know, all basking on the surface, so came home for a few hours and will go back about 5ish. Yesterday evening seemed like bite time, the lad next swim down from me had 2 while I was fishing so will try the same time again today 👍 elmoputney and Carpmaster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same bait and the day before when I had a take, sticky krill. I know it works. I had the fish in front of me last night I seen several carp, just don’t understand why they didn’t get their heads down. my baits are going on some hard spots, about a foot off the island. I’m wondering if it’s because I’m not getting it close enough.. bait boat would help 👍😂 Then in questioning the rigs I’m using, I’ve recently made a change. I’ve been trying out a slip D rig with a bait screw. It was nailing the bream every time on res. If it’s hooking them well enough, shouldn’t be a problem hooking the carp? Might have to go back to the basic knotless knot rig for bottom baits and try that again lol elmoputney and Carpmaster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpmaster Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I’ve taken the old school approach I’m there to catch them not feed them at this time of yr they have that much natural food I’m not going to compete with that I’ll use it to my advantage the more naturals you can get on your hookbait the better it becomes a larder 🤔🤔 jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I think I've got a solution for the Self takes.... Anyone seen them "Ring Lights" lad has 1 and thinking of using for the night shots.... OMG there bright. The halo tube is the bulb/light, it runs of USB so power pack can be plugged in when picture to be taken, it has White Red Green Blue solid lights, you can also mix all the colours like a rainbow, 4 different brightness settings. The phone holder is in the middle, think I should use with Whistle App Tripod adjusts to different levels. Might give it a whirl tomorrow night. commonly, Carpmaster and jh92 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Dove was made a director of Korda a couple of days after Ali left. Not sure what to make of that. I'm pretty sure if Ali had been offered a directorship he'd have not left. I guess they (Korda) are attempting to prevent Tom form joining Ali. But a bit of a kick in the teeth to Ali in the process.

Ali wanted to be made a director & when it was not forth coming decided to leave. Like you say though making Tom one after , must be a kick in the teeth. yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
