Just go for it, you might get lucky this time 👍

I’m having some really bad luck with the carp at the moment 😂 had one bump off at the res 2 sessions ago.
 

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 👍

Exactly mate I was gonna go this evening but going in the next hour or so instead. Got my jab at 9.25 then it’s straight to the pond 👍

Yeah mate when I had my first jab my arm was pretty soar for a few days. 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 👍

[chillfactor]

Sorting through my kit ready for next week .... was surprised how tidy I packed it away tbh😲

Really looking forward to getting out  & being a social even better 👍

Often thought the same but have you ever seen a Bait boat and sonar dude leaving the lake after a good blank, not a happy look at all🦷

It’s making me question everything mate.

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

Its very annoying mate 😂 when I had the take I was using the less is more approach, I was fishing the bottom bait with 4 boilies around it. I’m gonna try singles next time 👍

[Carpmaster]

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 🤔🤔

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.

I did watch his interview on Cypography, didn't really want to give anything away I thought.

I saw that too, seems a big decision he's made but I'm sure he will make it work, he has taken Pete Castle with him also, I listened to his korda podcast the other week, very interesting bloke, 

Monster carp was brilliant, great episode, some of those fish were mega,

Indeed. I'm not sure we're told the full story.

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.

Pretty much what I heard mate .... 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.
