elmoputney Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 No luck this time, don't think I was far off but they have too much safety in this lake, and if they don't want to play ball and come to you then you won't catch them , I'm thinking of a new plan though it may not be so safe soon going exploring off the beaten track when I get time 😂 commonly and Carpmaster 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Well it seems that time of year again and bait anxiety is really starting to creep in, should I stick on the bait I've done well on or commit to another in the hope of better results next year? I think I am probably going to do another year on this lake and see if I can't get attached to some of the better fish, sensibly I will stick with it no need to change really but I always have that devil on my shoulder saying go on try that one it might just be better 😈 Aaaaaaaagh it's too much does anyone else get this all the time?
