elmoputney Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 15 hours ago, salokcinnodrog said: Rod Hutchinson often explained something similar about the carp using gravel bars as the routes across gravel pits, and the silt in between being the feeding areas. Day time may be the time to fish on gravel and night the time to fish off them. The day is an 'inquisitive' take, night is a feeding take. RH also mentioned that the carp may hide in lily beds and weed in the day, occasionally picking up a bait, and again coming out of the weed to feed properly at night. So i guess the moral of the story is if you tend to fish overnighters like myself, fish in silt or just off pads and weed, 😂 salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 One word all modern content providers seem to use is ARMOURY, "you need this rig in your armoury as it might get you a an extra bite or two" Terms and conditions this may or may not be true, but the angler has an armoury at his disposal so he can always change to another method that may or may not work if this method proves unsuccessful 😂 crusian and ouchthathurt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpbell_ll Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Sometimes you do have to feel sorry for sponsored anglers you can see they are lying their rump off i've been watching a few Simon Crow vids now that's how you video fishing sessions for social media it's all about where he is fishing and non of that you need this and that nonsense to catch fish. Old fishing buddy of mine only fishes canals or any pools he can get on for free always with just a cheap argos float road and reel, Tench are his main target, i once talked him into buying a day ticket for pine pool turned up with his float road sat on the end of main causeway we all fish off and put us all to shame with the amount of very large tench he had out, really was something else all from slowly feeding the swim maggots and corn.

I had a old friend like that ancient gear an he would allways pull out some awesome fish while others blanked he used to make me laugh we wouldn’t call it fishing I’d say to him coming to pee some people off and he would just shrug an mumble something under his breath your making the tea he’d say as he was getting in the car we would turn up he’d be gone I’d find him tucked away somewhere with his canvas bag seat an he could catch em the old git Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouchthathurt Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 A mate of mine used to be mad keen on carping, we were out virtually every weekend, he hit on a run of blanks, got convinced that it was all down to rigs and couldn’t accept it was probably down to the run of things, it wasn’t an easy water and a string of blanks could and did happen to us all. He started chopping and changing rigs all over, still blanking... he brought the underwater carp fishing dvd for some hints and tips, yet it just wrecked his head, he got so despondent that he lost all confidence in what he was doing and eventually hung up his rods.

I have a mate who had a habit. He used to spend most of the day monged out in his shelter. We fished the same waters, while he was smoking, I spent time looking and figuring. He got so wound up with me catching regularly. Eventually his habit and not catching he sold all his gear, including the stuff I gave him. Eventually he managed to quit. It has cost him thousands to buy new gear, and he still refuses to get into carp fishing like he used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial problems are due to the illicit nature of the costing structure if a person could freely grow their own in a outdoor greenhouse all the financial and backstreet retail issue would not be there. The only strain/brand/name i would strongly advise people stay away from is the horrid cheese weed, it's disgusting and obnoxious and there is something not right about it couldn't tell you what as i wont have it or those that smoke it regular around me.

I've seen a few strains advertised that are crossbreeds of the UK Cheese but haven't tried it. The review I just read of UK Cheese claims the smoke from some of it smells like rotten vegetables, so what you say makes sense. Legalisation in Canada hasn't been without a few bumps, but overall it's great. Anyone can grow 4 plants but for non-gardeners who don't want to buy from the more expensive licensed shops there is a thriving mail-order grey market. I can choose the potent Indica or Indica-dominant hybrids I want for pain management, and price is down, quality is up, and it's delivered in the post by an agent of the government. It's about time, says I, and glad I lived to see it. Carpmaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen of the cheese strain it is more of a medical grade knock you out type thing seems to be what most of the street dealers sell, when in Amsterdam lol, I like the sativas and haze hybrids not too keen at all on the Afghani Indian indica hybrids some are ok but if i can get it then it has to be high quality Moroccan or Lebanese hash.

salokcinnodrog Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I've read through this, and with a couple of exceptions, it seems like we are all fishing gravel pits. What about other lakes, ponds or even meres? My current lake is a proper lake, mostly clay/silty lake bed, with feeder stream running in one end and out the other. Other than an old Causeway it is nearly all softer lakebed, with loads of weed. The spots I have found have not been in the weed, but have been rich in Bloodworm, depressions in the lakebed, or alongside rushes, proper Norfolk Reeds I can't claim any fish, so far it is theory, but I'm sure the causeway is not the best hard spot, it is down to finding spots the fish are currently harvesting Carpbell_ll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Gravel pits for me mainly i would love a nicely stocked estate lake to fish something like Longleat, the lake bed where i fish is a moonscape the bottom is real soft in most areas sure there is a big slab that could be and old viaduct drainage from when it was dug out, when you stand on it you can feel it is flat and solid under a layer of silty mud. good spot as well.
