nigewoodcock Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Went out for a few hours this morning. The lake hasn’t done a bite since September 13th so was up against it with the little time I had available. The trip was really just to scratch the itch and get out the house for a bit and take advantage of these double figure temps. Looks like I’ve found their new Winter holding spot after the last area I was catching from had dried up! muftyboy, finchey, Dave Hedgehog and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was only my second trip since the start of November, both being short day/morning sessions. I still try to visit the lake as often as possible, even when I don’t have time to fish, searching for them and keeping up with their movements. This allows me to put a bit of bait in places where I think the fish may be. It’s like I’m fishing without actually fishing. Then, when I do get an hour or two spare, I can try and time it with the time of day I’ve seen feeding activity, making more efficient use of the limited rod hours I get. crusian, bluelabel, commonly and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonly Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Sure, knowing the lake &the fishes activity must be key. I'm looking forward to concentrating more time on the local estate ticket I've had for a few years. There aren't many bigguns, but they are natural British carp. Beauties! Giving up the big name syndicate which I haven't been able to put the time in. Owners put the price up £100 in 3 years!! + it's an hour & half drive. Do you not tend to use zigs so much in the colder weather then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How very 2019!😂 is it realistic? Can you hear people hammering in pegs in the distance? Is there a clicky group of camo clad regulars staring across the lake as you cast? Do you wait an eternity for a beep only to have foul hooked the only remaining bream in the lake? tell me more, I’m tempted!
