Extremes of nature are some of my favourite times to fish, be that massive electrical thunderstorms, big autumn winds, cold spells in the depth of winter etc. I enjoy seeing the extent to which nature can take hold! Not sure about periods of extreme heat/cold but most others tend to be great for fishing. elmoputney and kevtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing what's in there is special in this day and age . The hardest part is that there really is only one area you can fish from and it only allows access to about a quarter of the lake. chillfactor and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 After losing my last 2 fish to hook pulls ( one a decent carp at the net) I was more than happy when this was in the net doing a quick evening session has stopped my run of bad luck 😱 Still got 20mins to go before it’s home time........ my fingers are firmly crossed 😬😎🎣 crusian, ..., chillfactor and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every fish I've seen so far has been proper dark, and 20lb plus. We are both wondering what's gonna happen to make it go **** up lol. Just need to stop the mozzies, got about another 50 bites from a 5 hour session and was gonna do the whole night on Thursday. This is what I've got to work with and I made this swim myself. ... and elmoputney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
