But unfortunately couldn't get one interested in my offerings......😣 I filled my ice cream tub , that I use for balancing my boilies and chucking water over any fish in my cradle , and the water was full of fry and plankton like stuff ; I have found when there is frog spawn and tadpoles about the fishing is very slow . 😃 smufter and yonny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh oops ! , shows you how many fish I catch , sorry . Where I fish the match boys like to put the bigger Carp in one lake , but there are one or two surprises left in the match lake . Look forward to seeing you post your results at the " up to sz.8 " water . ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to pack up early due to the weather, and to be honest, losing the fish in the pads kinda put the mockers on that swim. The fish are very twitchy at the best of times, and I can't help thinking that all the commotion of boating out to retrieve the rig spooked them away. Got a session booked for next Tuesday so fired the remainder of my bait out into the "hot spot" in the hope that it gets them used to the taste...........😉 crusian and oscsha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some people just like to chop and change which is fair enough. I just on't feel a need to do that, I have ultimate confidence in my bait. Until I stop catching carp when I fish for them, I'll not consider anything else. greekskii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I have every confidence in the Plan b Yonny, I just "fancied" trying something else mate. I am taking some VNF to France with me as an alternative to my main bait, and having received it the other day thought I'd give it a try at the Cottage as I'd run out of the ABS gear. Initial indications are promising... there was plenty of fizzing in my baited area, and i had a really savage take (which is unusual as our fish are normally a little more discrete than that lol!!) which saw me end up in the pads, where I subsequently lost the fish. First time that's happened to me at the Cottage that's for sure. I'm ordering my bait for France within the next two weeks, (from ABS), and will be placing another order for my plan b to go in the freezer. But bear in mind that whilst my captures at the Cottage have all been on plan b, I have only had four fish out of there in over two years. It's not like I'm hauling them in. The inquisitive side of my nature is keen to find out how another bait might work. Just think..... if I'd have been on VNF all this time, I might have had five out!!!!! 😉😉😉 yonny and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
