salokcinnodrog Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Well I've been fishing a bit this past week with Big Dave and Andy. Dave is the guy I jumped in to save his life, and Andy is his driver. We all had plenty of fish this week, although Friday was slow for me. Bearing in mind Andy hasn't been fishing since he was a lot younger and never 'carp' fished, he had a few fish bream and carp topping it off with a pb carp of 5lb. Dave found that Method feeder at Bromeswell has really been the method, work a spot up. He had plenty topped off with a 9 1/2lb common from Willow lake. The fish pictured for both of them is not the biggest. I struggled on Friday, only a couple of fish, but the other 2 days I lost count, again double being the largest. All mine came on Juicy Pineapple pop-ups over Ballistic B boilies. ..., bluelabel, crusian and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 My favourite fish of the day today, taken by one of my favourite methods, the floating bait. I had a dog biscuit suspended from the rod tip, on a size 12 hook when this beauty took the bait. I'd been putting in mixers and bread right next to the staging to get the take. I did have a few more on The Method, but nothing as good looking. Biggest 8lb Big Dave managed a few as well bluelabel, chillfactor, commonly and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Nice one Nick The few carp the otters have left behind in our farm pond have been absolutely gorging on tadpoles for a week or so , catching them on anything but a black zig would be a real challenge I reckon .
