Carpbell_ll Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Barston is closed as they don't want people traveling not sure about lavender but I have no waggler tackle so not really worth it anyhow. other than that there is a few free river spots and the canal at Knowle or Coventry city centre. Was up my mates boat mooring the other week they are on the cov canal get loads of carp in the moorings would be well worth plotting up just outside and doing a few over-nighters, another guy that does a bit up there had a nice 16lb common out on waggler tackle. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely mate, I’d be on there like a shot given the chance, we may not be able to do overnighters just now, but you could start baiting it and prepping it ready for when you can hit it properly.

ouchthathurt Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Fair play mate, you got the right venue for this time of year! Lovely looking carp too. I’m gonna hit a runs water (in the summer anyway!) and see if I can bank the first fish of 2021 on Monday hopefully, only got 3-4hrs but it only takes a second to get a bite!

I will do sometimes, otherwise my aqua large beanie unhooking mat, although unwieldy to carry about, makes a cracking beanbag chair! luckily I’ve not caught a carp since November so I don’t get a wet backside, that would just be uncomfortable! I do this with my cradle, quite comfy to chill on and has a decent head rest, but that’s in the summer 😂no way will I be doing that this time of year 👍😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of shift change should be illegal, I have to do 2-10pm monday to Thursday then 10-6pm just the 4 hours earlier really throws me out of whack, perhaps I should be going for day naps, might be a good idea 💡 Carpmaster and jh92 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchthathurt Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 My wife once twisted all the eyes off a pair of century canon carp rods, snapped a pair of Neville alarms off the bank stick and slashed at the spools of my bait runners cutting all the line to shreds, then tipped the contents of the tackle box into the bin... crusian, jh92 and salokcinnodrog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
